Hi guys,
Many times clients find their website down. On contacting the web host they come to know that their website is down because of DDOS attack. What exactly is this Distributed-Denial-of-Service attack? Marson(2002) states that distributed DoS attack occurs when a hacker hijacks machines across the Internet and uses them to send a flood of requests to a server until it becomes overwhelmed and stops functioning.
I am just wondering is ICMP blocking only the solution for this?
