In 2012, quite a few organizations have been exposed to large scale denial-of-service attacks. Still in some places there’s a lack of understanding and preparedness/response capabilities. This talk will provide a classification of common DoS attacks and the methods & tools used by the attackers. Furthermore different mitigation approaches will be discussed, together with their advantages/disadvantages and scenarios where they can (or can not) be applied. The speaker can & will provide first hand experience from being in charge to counter an attack of multi-gigabit scale and from several other case studies.
