ANALYSIS OF CYBER ATTACKS ON INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS AND THEIR CLASSIFICATION

Abstract

This article analyzes distributed cyberattacks of the “Denial of Service” type and develops their classifi cation. A description of the shortcomings and vulnerabilities of distributed denial-of-service attacks by category is given. An implementation diagram with examples for each category of distributed denial of service attacks is presented. Analyzed the number of attacks carried out by attackers, as well as the purpose and type of attack used. According to the results of the study, the UDP-fl ood 53.64% attack type is the most commonly used type by attackers in implementing distributed attacks, and the GRE-fl ood 1.41% is defi ned as the least used type. Distributed denial of service attacks are the major concern for the security experts. This paper can be useful for researchers and cyber security expert to provide the better understanding of distributed denial of service attacks tools in present times
