Vol. 2 No. 06 (2025): A Comprehensive Defense Model Against DoS and DDoS Attacks

Abstract

This project explores the development and implementation of a mitigation strategy against Dos and DDoS attacks using a hybrid model.

The project aims to analyze the intricacies of Dos and DDoS attacks, focusing on the hybrid model that combines both volumetric and application layer attack vectors. The research involves studying existing attack methodologies and understanding their impact on network infrastructure and application functionalities. Through this analysis, the project seeks to design and implement a comprehensive defense mechanism that addresses the challenges posed by hybrid Dos and DDoS attacks.

Key objectives of the project include:

Investigating various Dos and DDoS attack vectors and their implications on network security.

Designing a hybrid model that integrates countermeasures against volumetric and application layer attacks.

Developing and implementing a prototype system to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid defense mechanism.

Evaluating the performance of the hybrid model under simulated attack scenarios and real-world conditions.

The outcomes of this project are expected to contribute to the enhancement of network security measures, providing a more resilient defense against evolving Dos and DDoS threats. This research aligns with the broader goal of fortifying network infrastructures to ensure the availability and reliability of critical online services in the face of sophisticated cyber-attacks.
