Abstract

The aim of the study is to improve security and identify DDOS attacks. Security should be considered affront during software development as millions of dollars are lost due to security breaches in software. There are many kinds of security breaches and of these DDOS attacks plays a leading role and as such it is vital that new techniques be identified to combat this rising menace. In this study a new sizing techniques called energy Points are used to identify the energy based DDOS attacks.

Keywords:

DDOS attacks, energy points, FFP,
