A survey of distributed denial-of-service attack, prevention, and mitigation techniques

Distributed denial-of-service is one kind of the most highlighted and most important attacks of today’s cyberworld. With simple but extremely powerful attack mechanisms, it introduces an immense threat to current Internet community. In this article, we present a comprehensive survey of distributed d...
