Anatomy of Denial of Service Mitigation Testing

Presented at DEF CON 10 (2002), Aug. 3, 2002, 5 p.m. (50 minutes).

DOC has had the privilege of working on a project that was focused on looking at new product technologies relating to DOS and DDOS mitigation. Several commercial companies were formed who's entire focus was to find solutions to DOS and DDOS issues. Different types of detection were used in each product from pure rate analysis to statistical analysis and anomaly detection. This talk will focus on the testing methodology, testing results, lessons learned, and thoughts on the direction that this technology will be moving.
