Description
Summary:Nowadays, the most distinct threat to the web applications is HTTP-based Denial of Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack, which it causes a massive damage to them and corrupt their works completely. Up to now, various researches are accomplished in this field for the sake of identifying and determining the most convenientrequired specifications for a protective solution that helps to protect web applications from HTTP-based DoS and DDoS attacks. Unfortunately, despite of that,the optimal specifications of the protective solution have not been identified, and therefore this paper comes out to state and identify these missing specifications. In this paper, a comprehensive survey to all sorts of HTTP-based DoS and DDoS attacks is conducted in order to figure out and identify the optimal specifications for a protective framework against HTTP-based DoS and DDoS attacks.
