CEHv13 – Module 10 – Denial-of-Service
CEHv13 Denial of Service Guide provides an in-depth understanding of denial-of-service (DoS) and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, equipping ethical hackers with the skills to identify, exploit, and mitigate these threats.
What You’ll Learn
- Understanding the fundamentals of DoS and DDoS attacks
- Types of DoS attacks, including SYN floods, UDP floods, and application-layer attacks
- Using tools like LOIC, HOIC, and Slowloris to perform DoS attacks
- Techniques to detect and mitigate DoS and DDoS attacks
- Setting up defenses such as rate limiting, WAFs, and anti-DDoS services
- Legal and ethical considerations in performing DoS tests
Requirements
- Basic knowledge of networking protocols such as TCP/IP
- Familiarity with Linux systems and penetration testing tools
- A lab environment for testing DoS attack simulations
Course Description
The CEHv13 Denial of Service Guide is tailored to help ethical hackers understand and combat one of the most persistent threats to network security—denial-of-service attacks. This module provides comprehensive training on how attackers use DoS and DDoS techniques to overwhelm systems, networks, or services, causing disruptions.
Through a mix of theory and hands-on exercises, you will explore the various types of DoS attacks, from volumetric and protocol-based attacks to sophisticated application-layer exploits. You’ll gain experience using popular tools such as LOIC (Low Orbit Ion Cannon), HOIC (High Orbit Ion Cannon), and Slowloris to understand how these attacks operate.
Furthermore, the course emphasizes defensive strategies, teaching you how to implement protective measures such as traffic filtering, anomaly detection systems, and cloud-based anti-DDoS services. By the end of this module, you will have a solid grasp of how to simulate, detect, and mitigate DoS attacks while adhering to ethical standards.
