What is DoS Attack?
What is DoS Attack & How to perform DoS Attack
HI! how are you friends . today my topic about all information DOS and DDOS attack so let started.
A denial of
Service attack up all the system resource that unavailable to it intended
Users. The
temporarily or indeterminately
troublesome services of a host connected to the Internet so that others can’t
connect. DoS atack hitting the target server, network resources or service with
too many requests at the same time for this reason server deny to respond to
all the requests. The effect of this can either be crashing the servers or
extremely slowing them down. DoS’s intent is to deny legitimate users access to
a resource such as a website, network, server, WiFi etc.
DoS vs DDoS
Attack
There are
two form of DOS attacks one is DOS and another on is DDOS.
The meaning
of DOS(denial of service) and meaning of DDOS(distributed denial of service .
main difference between DoS and DDOS . The DDos involves more than one attacks
source. Another difference Dos and DDOS is that attacks .the Dos attack work on
system or computer or on internet connection to flood a target network or
resource. The DDOS attack uses multiple compromise computer and internet
connection to flood with data packets the targeted resource.
DoS/DDoS Attack Method
DoS/DDoS
Attack Method
DoS Attack can categorize
into at least three different types.
1.
Volumetric Attacks
Volumetric attacks are the
most common types of DoS attack about 65% attacks are volumetric attack.
Volumetric Attacks that use massive amount of traffic saturating the bandwidth
of the target. Attacker simply sends a large volume of useless packets to the
target thereby using up all the resources.
2.
Fragmentation/Protocol Attacks
Fragmentation attacks are a
common form of denial of service attack, in which the perpetrator overbears a
network by exploiting datagram fragmentation mechanisms. fragmentation attack
use the resources of the network equipment on the periphery of the server such
a firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and switches. fragmentation
attacks can take several forms. While they all exploit the breakdown of
datagrams in order to overbear the target networks.
3. Application layer Attack
An application layer attack is a form of DDoS attack where attackers target the application layer of the OSI model attacker exploit a weakness in the layer 7 protocol stack. The attack over-exercises specific functions or features of a website with the intention to disable those functions or features.
DoS/DDoS Attack Tools
The following are some of the popular tools that can be used to perform DoS and DDoS attacks.
- Metasploit
- Aircrack-ng
- HULK (HTTP Unbearable Load King)
- Nemesy
- RUDY (R-U-Dead-Yet)
- LOIC (The Low Orbit Ion Cannon)
- HOIC
- XOIC
- Xerxes
- Blast
- GoldenEye
- UDP flooder
- PyLoris
- Tor’s Hammer
- DDOSIM – Layer 7 DDoS Simulator
