Anonymous communication systems are subject to selective denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. Selective DoS attacks lower anonymity as they force paths to be rebuilt multiple times to ensure delivery which increases the opportunity for more…

Volumetric Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have been a recurrent issue on the Internet. These attacks generate a flooding of fake network traffic to interfere with targeted servers or network links. Despite many efforts to…

Despite their frequency, denial-of-service (DoS\blfootnote{Denial of Service (DoS), Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS), Probabilistic Packet Marking (PPM), coupon collector's problem (CCP)}) and distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS)…

The significance of the DDoS problem and the increased occurrence, sophistication and strength of attacks has led to the dawn of numerous prevention mechanisms. Each proposed prevention mechanism has some unique advantages and disadvantages…

Distributed denial of service attacks are often considered a security problem. While this may be the way to view the problem with today's Internet, new network architectures attempting to address the issue should view it as a scalability…

A recent paper (circa 2020) by Osterwile et al., entitled "21 Years of Distributed Denial of Service: A Call to Action", states: "We are falling behind in the war against distributed denial-of-service attacks. Unless we act now, the future…

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a network paradigm shift that facilitates comprehensive network programmability to cope with emerging new technologies such as cloud computing and big data. SDN facilitates simplified and centralized…

DDoS attacks are simple, effective, and still pose a significant threat even after more than two decades. Given the recent success in machine learning, it is interesting to investigate how we can leverage deep learning to filter out…

One of the most common causes of lack of continuity of online systems stems from a widely popular Cyber Attack known as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS), in which a network of infected devices (botnet) gets exploited to flood the…

Denial of service attacks (DoS) can cause significant financial damages. Flooding and Malicious packets are two kinds of DoS attacks. This paper presents a new security approach which stops malicious packets and prevents flooding in the…

This document describes a dataset with diverse types of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks and Man-in-the-Middle (MiTM) attacks. The data is available at the following DOI 10.21227/mewp-g646. This document describes the data collection process…

Email breaches are commonplace, and they expose a wealth of personal, business, and political data that may have devastating consequences. The current email system allows any attacker who gains access to your email to prove the authenticity…

A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack can flood a victim site with malicious traffic, causing service disruption or even complete failure. Public-access sites like amazon or ebay are particularly vulnerable to such attacks, because…

Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks are a constant threat for services in the Internet. This year, the record for the largest DDoS attack ever observed was set at 1.7 Tbps. Meanwhile, detection and mitigation mechanisms are still…

Although adverse effects of attacks have been acknowledged in many cyber-physical systems, there is no system-theoretic comprehension of how a compromised agent can leverage communication capabilities to maximize the damage in distributed…

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are getting increasingly harmful to the Internet, showing no signs of slowing down. Developing an accurate detection mechanism to thwart DDoS attacks is still a big challenge due to the rich…

Distributed denial of service attacks represents one of the most important threats to cloud-providers. Over the years, volumetric DDoS attacks have become increasingly important and complex. Due to the rapid adaptation of attackers to the…

This paper presents a mitigation scheme to cope with the random query string Denial of Service (DoS) attack, which is based on a vulnerability of current Content Delivery Networks (CDNs). The attack exploits the fact that edge servers…

Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks exhaust resources, leaving a server unavailable to legitimate clients. The Domain Name System (DNS) is a frequent target of DDoS attacks. Since DNS is a critical infrastructure service,…

The performance of control systems with packet loss as a result of an attack over the actuation communication channel is analysed. The operator is assumed to monitor the state of the channel by measuring the average number of packet losses…
