Abstract – This paper discusses the role of
cyber security in our day-to-day life and explains
the DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) Attack.
The legal provisions available to tackle the
DDoS attack are also elaborated.
Cyber security is a broad issue. The millions
of devices linked to the Internet have variable
levels of safety. There are many known and
unknown vulnerabilities in the hardware and
software on which these devices run. Technology
too is changing at a very high rate. Attackers
with poor intent need to be successful only once
defenders of cyber security have to be successful
all of the time.
With the increase in cyber attacks, there is a
growing need to increase skills in the concepts
and technology of cyber-security.
Keywords – DDoS attack, DoS attack.
INTRODUCTION
The World Wide Web provides the Internet
user to collect, accumulate, method, and
transfer huge amounts of data, which also
includes proprietary and responsive business,
transactional, and individual information [1].
With the digital age, businesses and customers
have to increasingly rely on such capability.
Security fears are evolving as the Internet is
expanding rapidly, and the associated risks are
becoming global.
Cyber security has a high dependency
under workstation network that are available
all the time and which have all the essential
security components required to give the
essentials of a trusted system, viz. privacy, data
integrity, transactional non-repudiation, and the
capability to recognize the cause of information
(validation).
