Application Layer DDoS: Motives, Mechanism, Relief

DDoS attacks are no longer just about bandwidth consumption. Today’s application layer DDoS attacks can succeed while consuming little network bandwidth. Ashley Stephenson, Executive Vice President, Corero Network Security will lead a broad-ranging discussion about DDoS attacks and other unwanted network intrusions. How are they launched against a network, how does the site admin know what’s happening? This session reviews common application layer DDoS attacks, explores their impact on several common web server implementations, and shares some lab and real-world observations of various attacks scenarios and mitigation techniques. Original research will be presented regarding the quantitative outcomes associated with various attack tools, server software, and application settings.

Key learning points:
  • Understand better how an attack may affect their infrastructure.
  • Learn the benefits of each method of attack mitigation.
  • Predictions about how future attacks will be carried out.
