Features: With the development of network technology and network applications, network security issues have become increasingly important. Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks, due to their ease of implementation, difficulty in prevention, and difficulty in tracking, have become one of the most challenging network security issues, causing significant harm to the cyber society. At the same time, DoS attacks will also be one of the important means in future information warfare. Therefore, understanding and researching the principles of DoS attacks, exploring countermeasures, and effectively responding to DoS attacks in daily work are extremely important. This book provides an in-depth exploration of the principles of DoS attacks and then analyzes various countermeasures against them, including defense, detection, and tracking. Particularly, as a new method for DoS attack countermeasures—data source tracking—is discussed in detail in this book. This method not only provides evidence for legal liability but also offers timely information for other countermeasures such as packet filtering and rate limiting. This book combines both theoretical research and practical techniques, offering rich and comprehensive content. It is suitable for reference by researchers and engineers in related fields, as well as serving as a teaching reference for senior undergraduate and graduate students in relevant majors, covering topics such as network offense and defense, firewalls, intrusion detection, and more. This book provides an in-depth exploration of the principles of DoS attacks and then analyzes various countermeasures against them, including defense, detection, and tracking.
