Description |
Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks pose major threat to the secure and reliable operation of the Internet.
This paper discusses the evolution and sophistication of different generations of DoS attacks as
well as some of their common characteristics. A highly disastrous and massively distributed DoS
attack in which millions of innocent Internet servers deployed at various parts of the Internet are
exploited as packet reflectors to facilitate the attack is analysed. The paper is concluded by emphasizing
the needs and highlighting the complexity in protecting innocent Internet servers from being
exploited as intermediate launching pads of the attack against somebody.
