A Novel Framework for Mitigating the DDoS attacks
Upma Goyal, Gayatri Bhatti, Prabhdeep Singh · 2013
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are a destructive, relatively new type of attack on the availability of Internet services and resources, andamong the hardest security problems. Over the past few years, DDOS attacks have increased up to a large extent. As a result of which we need to fight against the severe effects of these attacks. In this paper, we will discuss different types of DDOS attacks, the way they affect the networks and the appropriate defence mechanisms for them. Also, a solution is proposed to mitigate these attacks which work in four steps including detection of DDOS attacks, diverting the attack traffic for treatment, monitoring and filtering the attack traffic and finally forwarding the good traffic to the final destination.
