A Testbed for Study of Distributed Denial of Service Attacks (WA 2.4)

Distributed denial of service attacks are a growing issue in Internet security, as simple tools for their creation have become available. A controlled environment for analysis and defense of orchestrated attacks similar to those in the wild is a necessary first step in their prevention. In this paper, we present a testbed for generation, control and defense of DDoS attacks. Our experiments show that, with proper countermeasures in place, it is possible to protect public network resources from DDoS attacks.
