Application-layer denial of service attacks: taxonomy and survey

摘要: The recent escalation of application-layer denial service DoS attacks has attracted a significant interest the security research community. Since usually do not manifest themselves at network level, they avoid traditional network-layer-based detection. Therefore, community focused on specialised detection and mitigation mechanisms. However, deployment reliable efficient defence mechanisms against these requires comprehensive understanding existing supported by unified terminology. Thus, in this paper we address issue devise taxonomy attacks. By devising proposed taxonomy, intend to give researchers better provide foundation for organising efforts within specific field.
