Zusammenfassung: | In this paper, a Denial of Service (DOS) attack will be introduced. The detailed attacks under the DOS attack are thoroughly explained in the first section of the paper. Next, the step by step demonstration of the DOS attack is covered to increase the awareness of readers in how simple the attack can be launched over a simple window virtual machine. The DOS attack is the type of attack that will flood the network traffic of the targeted server with malicious traffic. The type of flood focused in this study is the SYN flood attack. The technique that was used to launch SYN flood is through the use of the Metasploit launched through the Kali Linux virtual machine. Based on the severity of a DOS attack on windows impacting businesses and individuals, this paper highlights the importance of securing individuals from being a victim of a DOS attack. Countermeasures in preventing or minimizing the possibility of being a victim of the DOS attack is also addressed in this paper. |
