Dataset of "Exploring the Landscape and Severity of Distributed Denial of Service Attacks"

The Internet of Things and Operational Technology technologies allow the Internet to be connected to a wide range of devices. The use of the Internet not only enables the management of these connected devices and the transmission of information through various devices but also exposes them to security threats. These threats include, but are not limited to, Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. Some attacks target specific types of devices, services, or web server versions. In this paper, we have enumerated and compared the most well-known (D)DoS attacks. Our paper provides a wide area of (D)DoS attacks sorted by ISO/OSI layers. Each listed attack is described, detection and mitigation techniques are presented, and a simulation tool capable of generating attacks is also presented. In total, we have focused on 46 attacks. In addition, a simulation of selected DoS, DDoS, and slow DoS attacks is carried out in an experimental setup workstation, and the impacts are compared.
