These DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks have affected large cloud environments and are a huge threat for worldwide organizations.These attacks flood the target network with a large number of packets because of which network becomes incapable of providing the services to its legitimate users.The horrible destruction of DDoS attacks can be seen from the very first attack in 1999 to the recently publicized attack Ababil.Attackers find new ways to launch attacks irrespective of the standard DDoS defense mechanism.The existing DDoS detection technologies or methods requires to be improved in order to effectively deal with such attacks in reasonable response time.This survey paper emphasizes on DDoS attack mainly HTTP GET flooding attack and a detection technique that is based on MapReduce.
