Countermeasures to DDOS attacks based on amplification

Abstract: A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is a cybersecurity weapon aimed at disrupting the operation of services or extorting money from targeted organizations. These attacks can be motivated by politics, religion, competition or profit.

Technically, a DDoS attack is a distributed version of a Denial of Service (DoS) attack whose goal is to disrupt the target's business operations. This type of attack sends a high volume of traffic to overload the normal operation of a service, server, or network interconnection, rendering them unavailable. DoS attacks disrupt service, while Distributed Attacks (DDoS) are carried out on a much larger scale, bringing down entire infrastructures and scalable (cloud) services.

In this work, we have addressed a rather particular DDoS, that relating to amplification. It was therefore a question here not only of talking about it, but also of presenting different forms of attacks, in addition to the related countermeasures for better security of our information systems.

Keywords: Cryptosystem, DDOS, DDoS basé sur l’amplification, information system.
