3. ABOUT ME

4. The objective of this study is to investigate and analyze the impact of
Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks on computer networks using the NS2
(Network Simulator 2) simulation framework. The specific problem to
be addressed is the effect of DoS attacks on network performance,
including packet loss, latency, throughput, and overall network
availability. By simulating different types of DoS attacks and varying
network conditions, the study aims to understand the behavior of DoS
attacks, identify vulnerabilities in network protocols or
configurations, and explore potential countermeasures to mitigate the
impact of such attacks.

6. The purpose of this research project is to analyze the
impact of Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks on computer
networks using the NS2 (Network Simulator 2) simulation
framework. DoS attacks pose a significant threat to
network availability and can disrupt critical services,
making it essential to understand their behavior and
develop effective defense strategies. By conducting
simulations in NS2, we aim to gain insights into the effects
of different DoS attack types on network performance
and explore potential countermeasures to mitigate their
impact.

11. 1. NS2 Simulation Framework: We utilized the NS2 (Network Simulator 2) simulation framework as
the foundation of our project. NS2 is a widely used discrete event network simulator that allows
us to model and simulate complex network scenarios. We leveraged the capabilities of NS2 to
create a realistic network environment, define network topologies, configure traffic patterns,
and implement DoS attack scenarios.
2. Attack Modeling: We employed various attack modeling techniques to simulate different types
of DoS attacks within the NS2 framework. This involved defining attack parameters such as
attack rate, packet size, and attack duration to accurately represent the behavior of real-world
DoS attacks. By incorporating realistic attack models, we ensured that our simulations closely
resemble the characteristics and impact of actual attacks.
3. Performance Metrics and Measurement: To assess the impact of DoS attacks, we defined and
measured key performance metrics such as packet loss, latency, throughput, and network
availability. We employed standard network measurement techniques to collect data during the
simulations. These metrics allowed us to quantify the effects of DoS attacks on network
performance and evaluate the effectiveness of countermeasures.
