Abstract

DDoS attacks are increasingly common and many defense mechanisms have been proposed. However, in order to evaluate their effectiveness it is important to consider what goes into making an attack. In this paper, we analyzed common DDoS attacks at the source code and network level. We then developed a hybrid toolkit that combines attack tools, background traffic and monitoring software. Finally, we studied how effective our toolkit is at launching attacks and then detecting them. The results and lessons learned from testing on Emulab are presented.
