Abstract

DDoS attacks are highly distributed, well coordinated, offensive assaults on services, hosts, and infrastructure of the Internet. Effective defensive countermeasures to DDoS attacks will require equally sophisticated, well coordinated, monitoring, analysis, and response. The Cossack project is developing an architecture to explore such coordination using multicast, annotated topology information, and novel blind detection techniques.
