Abstract

Attackers use DNS as a weapon against unsuspecting victims to bring down their websites. In the past and now in the present Domain Name Servers are under the threat of DOS attacks. This kind of attack takes benefit of the fact that DNS response message may be substantially bigger than DNS query message. The attackers vastly exploit open recursive DNS servers mainly for performing bandwidth consumption DDos attack. In this paper our analysis is based on DNS amplification attacks and ways of DNS attacks protection.
