Distributed denial-of-service attacks

Abstract

Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks are the intimidation trials on the Internet that deplete the network bandwidth. Researchers have introduced various defense mechanisms including attack prevention, traceback, reaction, detection, and characterization against DDoS attacks, but the number of these attacks increases every year, and the ideal solutions to this problem have eluded us so far. A classification of detection approaches against DDoS attacks is presented with the aim of giving deep insight into the DDoS problem.

Following that, we examine the stabilization of distributed cyber-physical systems (CPSs) affected by denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. A static output feedback controller ...
