An Effectual Identification and Prevention OF DDOS Attacks in Web Using Divide-And-Conquer Algorithm
International Journal of Computer Networks and Communications Security · 2013
In this modern computerized world, large number of new technologies has been emerging.With the tremendous growth of internet services, websites are becoming indispensable.Websites are the common source through which they are made accessible to all.The possibility of sharing information through networking has been growing in geometrical progression.In this connection it is to be noted network attacks, In other words, DDoS attacks also are growing in equal proportion.Websites become accessible to large number of users, it may sometimes lead to overload of the server due to the maximum utilization.The result is server performance goes down and the processing time becomes slow.Sharing of information is being carried out by means of server and client.The client requests for the data from the server and the server provides the response for the client-request.Here the client can violate the server performance by sending continuous or anomaly requests.The result is the server performance becomes degraded.This paper discusses how best the degradation of the performance can be identified and prevented using some algorithm proposed in the methodology.In this work the blocking and preventing is done using a different mechanism based on the category of the client.
