Abstract
Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks are among the toughest
security issues nowadays. These attacks are launched at any time and can
impact any part of a network’s operations or IT resources. Because of the
seriousness of these attacks, many countermeasures have been developed by
both the private sector and the research community. Despite the availability of
many research efforts that suggested DDoS attacks classifications, the
multitude, diversity, and variety of both the attacks and their countermeasures
have the consequence that no standard taxonomy exists. In this paper, we
introduce an updated and structured taxonomy of both DDoS attacks and their
countermeasures. The novelty of this work stems from the fact that it covers
different dimensions of tackling DDoS attacks in the four main technology
areas: systems and network, cloud computing, SCADA, and IoT, with the main
aim of providing an all-in-one comprehensive reference for ongoing and future
security research.
