Denial of Service Attacks and How to Defend Against Them
Valentin Razmov · 2000
This paper is a survey on the problem of denial-of-service (DoS) attacks and proposed ways to deal with it. We describe the nature of the problem and look for its root causes, further presenting brief insights and suggested approaches for defending against DoS. We point out both the positive and negative sides of each potential solution. Future work identifies and justifies open research issues. In conclusion we give a brief summary of what has realistically been achieved so far, as well as what the key missing components still are.
