Billions of people rely on internet to discover and share ideas with the world. However, the websites are vulnerable to deliver the attacks, preventing people to access them. The recent study of global surveys showed that DDoS Attacks evolved in strategy and tactics. A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is a new emerging bigger threat that target organization's business critical services such as e-commerce transactions, financial trading, email or web site access. A DDoS attack is a large-scale, coordinated attack on the availability of services of a victim system or network resource, launched indirectly through many compromised computers on the Internet. To create attacks, attackers first discover vulnerable sites or hosts on the network. Then vulnerable hosts are exploited by attackers who use their vulnerability to gain access to these hosts. This chapter deals with the introduction, architecture and classification of DDoS Attacks.
