      In Depth Analysis of DDoS
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

    "Distributed Denial of Service Attacks have recently emerged as one of the
    most newsworthy, if not the greatest, weaknesses of the Internet. Overview
    Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are a relatively new
    development; reports of the first DDoS attacks surfaced in mid-1999, with
    the highest-profile attacks coming in early 2000 against sites like
    Amazon.com, CNN.com, eBay and E-Trade. Clearly, the challenge these
    attacks present is a serious one. While you alone cannot do much to
    protect yourself, as a community we can improve the situation. The victims
    were unreachable for several hours each".

    DETAILS

    The paper explains what DDoS attacks are and lists some of the most common
    tools attackers use. It then follows on to explain the reasons why ever
    more frequently are DDoS attacks being carried out and the risks involved
    in such attack.
