Critical Investigation on Application Layer-DDoS Attacks: Taxonomy and Parameter Efficacy

摘要

Application layer Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have pros of increasing complexity and diversity of network protocols and services. These kind of attack are very popular now the days rather than DDoS attacks. AL-DDoS attacks are critical threats for Internet and business web server. Over recent years, a significant research contribution has been dedicated to devising a new technique in AL-DDoS. In this paper, we had selected 13 primary studies out of a large bunch of data from the different electronic database. We formulate the pros and cons of the different primary studies, the contribution of countries, identify the parameter and their effects, attack strategy of the attacker and their effects. The aim of this survey is to identify further future research on attributes of AL-DDoS attack. We also discuss attributes which are slightly used by the researcher. This survey identifies that researchers used which strategy more and in future acquaints can work with that strategies and attributes.
