Incident Handling Process of a DDoS Attack

The phrase "hacker" has been prevalent mainly in the past two decades due to infringement of corporate data and general cultural reference, but most people, other than the security community, understand that this term is for all kinds of online adversaries It does not explain exactly. There are various kinds of hackers, but the most common are skill level and motivation. A more accurate label for identifying Internet activists who perform malicious acts, such as actions related to the movement of WikiLeaks, is a "hacker activist".

Application layer DDoS attack (also called Layer 7 DDoS attack) is a type of DDoS attack that an attacker aims at an attacker. Attack Attempts to overdo certain features of Web sites designed to disable these features. Unlike network-wide attacks, this application layer attack is usually used to deal with financial institutions and spread security vulnerabilities in IT and security personnel. In 2013, application layer DDoS attacks accounted for 20% of all DDoS attacks. According to Akamai Technologies survey, "Application layer attack rate" increased by 51% from the fourth quarter of 2014 to the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to the fourth quarter of 2014 in the fourth quarter of 2014, "16 % Increase ". In November 2017, cloud-flare computer scientist Junade Ali pointed out that network-level attacks are still massive but incidence is low

Last year, several famous websites were taken offline by DDoS attacks. DDoS includes servers that are flooded to the target Web site or service. These servers will contain fake requests from computers infected with malware until they can not process the traffic and are forced to shut down. The size and number of DDoS attacks is increasing. As the increasingly unstable Internet (IoT) devices get caught up in a powerful botnet such as Mirai, their implementation becomes easier and these botnets implement historical Dyn DDoS.
