Tiivistelmä
The IT world has witnessed and been a recipient of Distributed Denial of Service attacks. The attacks have grown over the past years, and it is expected that the carnage caused will get worse.
The purpose of this project was to demonstrate early DDoS attack detection. Though recent attacks have been instigated through IOT devices, the thesis will focus on DDoS detection, as IOT devices have only been a medium of the attack. It is important to counter act the vulnerability and this is the prime objective in this document.
A detection technique has been explored, using a test setup. Detection alone is not the objective, but necessary mitigation process that needs to be triggered has also been looked at.
