Among the most serious threats and most difficult of all Internet attacks to address have been the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. A DDoS attack occurs when a multitude of compromised systems (zombies or bots) send a flood of malicious data against a target network. Internet hackers gain complete control of unprotected personal computers and use them to overload the target's network with sheer volume of data, or simultaneously open many web pages so that the site runs out of resources to handle legitimate requests. The result is that the website collapses and becomes completely inaccessible. The resulting effects falls under two general categories:
- Consumption attacks, which overwhelm an organization's bandwidth just by the sheer volume of data.
- Resource attacks are generally characterized by exhausting a server's ability to perform a particular function.
We've seen an exponential growth in denial of services attacks. These bots have grown in size and complexity; and very focused attacks are becoming the norm.
