Chapter 23. Monitoring and Containing DoS Attacks in Your Network
Denial-of-service (DoS) attacks can have a devastating effect on end hosts as well as the networks that service them. Devices can become slow to respond or even crash completely, creating network downtime. DoS attacks are almost impossible to stop at their source, so the focus must be on detecting the attacks and taking steps to limit their impact on the devices in your network. This chapter discusses strategies for attack detection, as well as steps you can take to lessen the impact of an attack while it is in progress. It also covers strategies for proactively reducing the impact of DoS attacks on your network, and concludes by showing you some ways you can gather evidence of the attack.
