A study of the Network Denial of Service Attacks

Abstract

The Internet already pervades in each corner of our society. The electronics commerce, military C4ISR, and electronics services of the Government are adopting digital information and the network deeply into their operations. All these changes and facts indicate the potential problems of network denial of service which will not only influence electronics commerce, but will also include the military and political arenas. As of today, it seems there is no detailed information for providing a big picture of network denial of service attacks. In this paper, it provides an academic research over the network denial of service. With a depth of analysis on the theory and procedures of denial of service attacks, the preliminary integrated denial of service attack platform is originated. The integrated denial of service attack platform is constructed in order to have a better understanding of the characteristics and phenomena from denial of service attacks. A major part of this study is focusing on the verification and findings from the actual experiments based upon theory of network denial of service.
