Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are security threats that attempt to disrupt network service provisioning by overwhelming it with a massive flood of data traffic, with the goal of exhausting network resources like bandwidth.Attackers can easily employ a lot of devices as part of botnets to launch DDoS attacks.Thus, DDoS attacks prevent users from accessing required services, and it is also possible for them to crash the entire network.The solution proposed in this paper utilizes blockchain technology and reversed connection requests to prevent TCP attacks, which are a common form of DDoS attack.This mechanism aims to protect the network from crashing and ensure uninterrupted service provision.The experimental evaluation achieved success with our system, where the attack detection rate was above 99%.Additionally, the accuracy percentage of detecting the attack was also above 99%.Moreover, we succeeded in achieving low false positive rates and false alarm rates with the same low percentage.Finally, the process of discovering the attacking address took about 0.749 seconds.
