The paper presents the results of the analysis and simulation study of Denial of Service attacks for a variety of services that store, process and transmit data to the Internet. Focuses on the simulation of low-rate Distributed Denial of Service attacks on the infrastructure of the global dynamic routing Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP). We choose the following software for the set-up: Apache2, Nginx, Quagga, Debian, VMware and Citrix XenServer with the most popular configuration options. The study analyzed the vulnerability of data communication protocols of the transport and application layer, leading to the possibility of the threat of low-rate DDoS-attacks. This study demonstrates the implementation of such an attack on real computer systems and computer networks.
