So. How do you think DDoS attacks will develop over time?

Anyone who has experience in the computer networking field is aware that DDoS attacks are a big thing, they can potentially ruin businesses if not counter-measured effectively.
To an extent, they are easy to initiate (depending on the sophistication), these attacks can also be purchased.

Do you believe that the future of DDoS attacks will advance? Will attackers will aim to compromise the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) of a network?

Or do you have any other thoughts on how they could progress?

Discuss.

Note: This is for my dissertation, feedback will be much appreciated.

P.S. it might be worth looking into AI?

AI machines detecting DDoS attacks? I'm curious as to how that would work. It's not users can send their Intent in the body of every Http request they make.

Yeah.. It goes without saying that it'd make a brilliant dissertation topic. I was thinking of doing something along the lines of this for my second year project. But mostly on statistical analysis

The university life sounds like lots of fun ahaha, especially the dissertation. If I make it to uni next year then I'd also like to do something like AI with preventing DDoS attacks( if that's even possible).. Anyway let me not go off topic.

I was under the impression that you're already at university? You'll make it though! Where are you aiming for? Just think of heuristics. It isn't quite AI but it is pushing the boundaries somewhat

He did say discuss

Yeah everyone thinks I'm at university, but I'm not. I was thinking someone along the lines of heuristics, decision tree and neural networks.

And what do you mean by what am I aiming for?

My topic is about hacking groups and how they use DDoS attacks to attack companies & general users Also moves on to the damage implications which are caused because of these attacks. Created two questionnaires which are aimed towards a general user; to a business point-of-view. They reflect their current security which they have in place, and what types of attacks they have experienced. To finish, had a Q&A with a guy who works for an ISP who was willing to shread some light on his day-to-day experiences, etc.

Looking to finish on how these attacks could develop, and grow to be more dangerous in years to come.

With absolutely no help from my dissertation tutor, it's been tough. Cannot wait to leave this University aha, I've lost hope.

Suppose it's all the programming? You must enjoy it a lot! Very interesting actually!

What university.. Assuming you're in Y12?

Yes I'm in Y12, and yes I do enjoy computer science as a whole especially especially programming. I'd prefer not to publicly post the universities I'm applying for here, I'd rather send you that via PM as i'm very cautious of my online security and private data lol.

I know what they are. I've been doing Computer Networking for 4 years, I was just looking for a discussion to see if anyone had any theories which I could add to my research .

Appreciate the videos though, I'll have a look over them.

Why not take the typical route of packet analysis? Bust out a packet sniffer/analyzer? Understand the messages that SNMP sends.. Understand how it actually works.. Assuming SNMP is your primary focus.

To be honest with you man, I would do that. But my hand-in is on Wednesday at 4pm and I still have loads to do haha.
