Description

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have been the scourge of the internet over the past 20 years. Although the media attention has waned, they continue to evolve and grow in power, with botnet clients becoming easier to deploy and ever more services being exploited as multipliers for packet floods.

This course will take the participants from an overview of DDoS through details of the most common attacks and concludes with ways to detect and mitigate them

Please note that there is one registration - once registered you are welcome to attend all or selected sessions.

      "Introduction to DDoS Attacks - An overview of motivation and modus operandi of attackers"
      DDoS attacks have been around for more than 20 years now, and over this time, they have gained in power, reaching now several terrabits in bandwidth, enough to knock of ISPs. While the actual DDoS attacks have changed very little, the orchestration of the attacks, the deployment of their components and the motives of attackers have evolved.

      This course will give the participants an overview of the attacks and the attackers, their motivation and modus operandi.

      "DDoS Detection - How to know if you are under attack or partake in an attack" 1h

      The questions of how DDoS Detection works sounds simple: when your can't access your systems, you're under attack. But this may also happen due to technical problems and misconfigurations. And what if you want to detect attacks without being a victim of one?

      The course will show participants the various ways of how DDoS attacks are detected on the Internet.

      DDoS Mitigation 1h

      Mitigating a DDoS attack, especially the bigger ones, seems a daunting task, especially so with a determined attacker and when other sites are also affected.

      This course will show some simple, but proven techniques to combat DDoS attacks and also to avoid unintentionally partaking in one.
