Most associate the term ‘DDoS’ with system downtime, as they should because after all, the term actually indicates “Denial of Service”. A key factor that many are not aware of or neglect to contemplate is that attackers are getting smarter, and are utilising more sophisticated measures as they target, profile and infiltrate networks. Attackers don’t always want to completely deny service with the use of DDoS attacks; most often the goal is quite the opposite, they actually want the network to stay up, simply using DDoS as a distraction technique. By using DDoS as a diversionary tactic, they are able to map the floor plan of a targeted network, determine weak points and vulnerabilities that can be exploited and misdirect the efforts of the security team by overwhelming traditional IT security infrastructure and flooding logging tools with DDoS data.
