Desarrollo de guías prácticas para la ejecución y aseguramiento de ataques de denegación de servicio

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to present the characteristics of Denial of Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, including the implementation needed to execute an attack and the relevant insurance policies. The first section defines the main characteristics of the respective attacks, the differences between them, and the significant damage an organization can suffer through such cyberattacks. The next section goes into more detail on the way these attacks execute, through the analysis of different tools employed to successfully execute these attacks. The third section shows a synthesis of the results of 4 attacks performed to different servers, as well as the way to secure them against every specific attack. The final section presents practical guides for teachers and students, explaining in detail the necessary procedure for executing each attack, and insurance policies corresponding to each attack.
