Network Security White Papers
Client Puzzles as a Defense Against Network Denial of Service
Overview The threat posed by network denial of service attacks is a growing concern as these types of attacks continue to successfully disable well-known Internet websites. In February 2000, a string of distributed denial of service attacks crippled popular websites including CNN.com, Amazon.com, eBay.com, and yahoo.com for several hours. Another large distributed denial of service attack in October 2002 took out nine of the thirteen root DNS servers. Unlike other attacks that seek to gain or corrupt information, the primary goal of a denial of service attack is to prohibit legitimate users from being serviced. Network denial of service attacks commonly achieve this goal by overwhelming a server with seemingly legitimate requests.
