Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS): Practical Detection and Defense - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Description
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have existed for almost as long as the commercial web itself, and they remain one of the most effective ways to disrupt online services. But, since many of these attacks go undisclosed, industry collaboration on ways to combat them has been slow to emerge. This book provides engineers and IT managers with techniques for detecting and mitigating ongoing and potential DDoS events.

Authors Rich Groves and Eric Chou explain how DDoS can disrupt services by flooding your network with traffic from many different sources, often by using a botnet. You’ll learn about the people behind these attacks and their motivations - such as criminals seeking financial gain, thrill and status seekers, and angry and disgruntled users - and ways that you can thwart them.

The techniques in this book enable small to mid-sized organizations to implement DDoS prevention measures on a budget - before the size of your infrastructure requires the services of a commercial DDoS vendor.
