Denial of Service Attack on Cellular Networks: A Perspective and Amalgamation of Different Cellular Generations
Nipun Agarwal · 2024
As technology advances, the world becomes more interconnected, and cellular networks play a crucial role. However, these networks are increasingly vulnerable to cyber-attacks, notably denial of service (DoS) attacks. Such attacks can be disastrous, causing significant communication disruptions and even financial losses. This paper focuses on illustrating the most common vulnerabilities in the user authentication system that the attackers exploit, thereby exposing the networks to such attacks. Additionally, the paper will conduct a detailed comparison of network security between the fifth generation and previous generations of cellular networks. This will enable us to understand the advancements in network security and the challenges that still need to be addressed to safeguard these networks from potential cyber threats.
