Cloud is known as highly-available platform that has become most popular among businesses for all IT needs. Being widely used platform, it’s also a hot target to cyber-attacks. Distributed Denial of Services (DDoS) is a great threat to cloud in which cloud bandwidth, resources and applications are attacked to cause service unavailability. In a DDoS attack, multiple botnets attack victims using spoofed IPs with a huge number of requests to a server. Since its discovery in 1980, numerous methods have been proposed for the detection and prevention of network anomalies. This study provides a background of DDoS attack detection methods in the past decade and a survey of some of the latest proposed strategies to detect DDoS attacks in the cloud, the methods are further compared for their detection accuracy.
