Cyber-Security: Dos Attack Outcomes are Dangerous

Abstract

Dos attacks are an attractive and hot topic nowadays because it is very common for attackers to make a victim and exploit it. In this paper, different kinds of techniques and commands have implemented and contrast for the outcomes of these attacks. By performing, experiments problems are identified. By following experiments, the goal is prevention and mitigation of Dos attacks at large extent by knowing the outcomes of the attacks. For proving the work, different types of experiments are performed on different platforms and observed that Dos attacks are how dangerous to our systems. In this paper, hping3 and syn flooding are performed. Hping3 is used for sending packets in a modified, crafted form. It is the networking tool used by developers to perform a DOS attack. SYN flooding is used for sending so many requests in an insane amount to the server and used all of the resources of the server.
