Distributed Denial of Service Attacks

This book provides a comprehensive textbook on Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. It will present both their history and the necessary technical background, including the social impact, economic impact, and other implications of DDoS. The text covers DDoS attack detection, mitigation and on-going research in detail. There will be a focus on bandwidth-starvation attacks. The tools used to perform these attacks, attacker motivations and legal considerations will also be discussed. To help with instruction, each chapter will have example homework questions included. It will also provide a set of exercises that include running, measuring, and countering DDoS in a laboratory setting.

本書提供了一本關於分散式阻斷服務（DDoS）攻擊的全面教科書。它將介紹攻擊的歷史以及必要的技術背景，包括DDoS的社會影響、經濟影響和其他相關影響。本書詳細介紹了DDoS攻擊的檢測、緩解和持續研究。其中重點將放在帶寬匱乏攻擊上。本書還將討論用於執行這些攻擊的工具、攻擊者的動機和法律考慮因素。為了幫助教學，每章將包含一些例題作業問題。本書還提供了一系列實驗，包括在實驗室環境中運行、測量和對抗DDoS攻擊的練習。
