English Abstract

One of the multifaceted issues in security field is Denial of Service (DoS) attack.

At the beginnings of 80th, DoS abbreviation was known for the first time as a usual security issue, later on in 1999, the first incident of a Denial of Service (DoS) attack was reported, since then, the majority of DOS attacks are then distributed by default.

These days' attacks are done and controlled remotely using well organized botnets, distributed widely and recruited carefully with sharp constraints, to serve a specific goal.

The major challenge that faces the establishing of a comprehensive defending mechanism against those attacks is that they done in a different shapes with different concentration points with different intensives.

Due to this end, this research proposed an enhanced system for distributed defense mechanism against volumetric Distributed DOS (DDoS) attacks.

This work proposed a defense mechanism based on an existed defense mechanism called, Speak Up, with the goal of enhancing the defending against volumetric DDoS attacks.

This thesis proposes lower levels in bandwidth consumption due to the proposed methodology it follows for that purpose.

This research results shows that the enhanced system of Speak Up defense mechanism outperforms Speak Up mechanism in terms of defending, and bandwidth consumption.
