Abstract
In today’s scenario, Denial of Service (DoS) has become an extortion weapon and casing damage to multiple internet user. DDoS attacks rates are increasing in an exponential style and a report represented rate of DDoS attack i.e. 300GB per second. In 2000, very famous Amazon, Yahoo and CNN also developed the major targets of attack of DDoS and it’s an alarming sign that DDoS attacks rate will definitely increase in coming year. To overcome with this problem numerous preventive techniques has been proposed. Here in this paper, an effort has been done on the recent preventive techniques used for Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks as internet security has always been a concern for internet user. Keywords: DoS, DDoS, Preventive Techniques for DDoS,
Introduction
In current scenario, internet considered as the significant part for every individual in different ways due to which cyberspace attacks has also been increased. For instance, Information Phishing, Denial of Service, Email Spamming, Financial Fraud, etc. among numerous internet based attacks Denial of Service is considered as very serious and continuous threat in the world of cyber security. Denial-Of-Service is defined as an attack targeted for divesting genuine users with the online services, it is caused by overflowing the network or server with invalid authentication requests which ultimately down the server or network. And when the attacks of DoS are systematized by various dispersed computers, they commonly known as DDoS attack (Distributed Denial of Service). DDoS attack is termed as the of the most widespread attack in the world of cyber and the targets are, Links, Victim’s OS Firewalls and defense systems, Routers, Victim’s Application, Victim’s Infrastructure and Current Communication. Basically different types of attacks of DDoS i.e. Network-centric or volumetric attacks, protocol attacks target network layer or transport layer protocols and application layer attacks. The inundation of packets at the target causes a denial of service. In 1988, only six DDoS attack were recorded but the number of attacks increasing with every passing day.
