Abstract

Denial of Service attack (DoS) forms a permanent risk to the traditional networks and the cloud environment. This malicious attack can be amplified by Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. Moreover, the cloud payment model can be affected by such attacks exploiting the cloud scalability. In this case, it is called Economical Denial of Sustainability (EDoS) attack. This study introduces an effective solution that is designed to counteract such attacks and protect targeted networks. The proposed framework is called Enhanced DDoS-Mitigation System (Enhanced DDoS-MS). This method is tested practically and the test's results proved the success of the framework in limiting the end-to-end response time and handling complex versions of these attacks on multiple layers.
