A Review of DDOS Attack and its Countermeasures in TCP Based Networks

Abstract

Today, Internet is the primary medium for communication which is used by number of users across the Network. At the same time, its commercial nature is causing increase vulnerability to enhance cyber crimes and there has been an enormous increase in the number of DDOS (distributed denial of service attack) attacks on the internet over the past decade. Network resources such as network bandwidth, web servers and network switches are mostly the victims of DDoS attacks. In this paper basically summarizing different techniques of DDoS and its countermeasures by different methods such as Bloom Filter, Trace Back method, Independent Component Analysis and TCP Flow Analysis.
