Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks are becoming a global issue to businesses nowadays. They are a constant threat to organizations and institutions by threatening service performance and shutting down websites and mail servers. DDoS attack is a type of DoS attack where multiple compromised systems are being used to target a single system. The compromised systems traffic is flooded which leads to service denial to legitimate users. There are different types of DDoS attacks such as Traffic attacks, Bandwidth attacks and Application attacks. In this project we will be simulating DDoS attack(s), using ns-2, to analyze the affect of such an assault and the damage it can cause to the services provided by a system. This will be followed by possible solutions or preventive measures, such as early detection. If time permits then simulation with the proposed fixes will be presented as well.
