- Description
- DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks over recent years have shown to be devastating on the target systems and services made publicly available over the Internet. Furthermore, the backscatter1 caused by DDoS attacks also affects the available bandwidth and responsiveness of many other hosts within the Internet. The unfortunate reality of these attacks is that the targeted party cannot fight back due to the presence of botnets and malware-driven hosts. These hosts that carry out the attack on a target are usually controlled remotely and the owner of the device is unaware of it; for this reason one cannot attack back directly as this will serve little more than to disable an innocent party. A proposed solution to these DDoS attacks is to identify a potential attacking address and ignore communication from that address for a set period of time through time stamping.
