| Description |
Network security continues to remain a topic of high concern. Among various threats that the Internet is facing today, one of the toughest to deal with is DoS and DDoS attacks. There has been a significant increase in the number of DoS-related incidents that is reported on the Internet. In this paper, we conduct an in depth analysis of various possible attacks that can be launched by exploiting complex functionalities implemented at the transport layer of the TCP/IP communication protocol suite. We classify the attacks into four different generations based on their evolution on the Internet as well as their level of sophistication. The attacks covered vary from some of the oldest known attacks like SYN-flood attack to highly sophisticated attacks like reflection attack and low-rate flooding attacks. We also present various issues and challenges involved in tackling some of the popular and disastrous attacks seen on the Internet.
