Important properties of defense techniques against application-layer DDoS attacks.

RefMain ideaTypeStrengthFuture workResults

Bhosale et al. [40]Examined characteristics, security mechanisms of DDoS attacks, and their impact on web servicesPreventionApplication-layer DDoS attacks and their impact on modern online services are presented very effectivelyDue to the rapid increase in application-layer attacks, further research is neededThe characteristics of application-layer attacks and their effects were explored and investigated effectively

Bojović et al. [41]Reduce the packet recognition time to understand the attack patternDetectionPresented a hybrid strategy for detecting DDOS attacks, also evaluated and compared them with two other methodologiesBy adding a preprocessing module in the proposed technique, it would enable its application in overloaded links connecting huge networksThe technique attains the detection rate of an existing detection system, but it can detect numerous types of attacks better

Asad et al. [42]Using deep learning techniques to discriminate between normal and malicious traffic flowDetectionUsed accuracy as a performance matrix to evaluate the proposed model on actual Internet trafficThe same strategy can be used to combat other types of DDoS attacks such as those based on UDP and ICMP in the futureProposed technique correctly detected malicious behavior from packets when a completely new malicious pattern was used

Patani and Patel [43]Detecting attacks on application and transport layerDetectionThis method uses CAPTCHA in a variety of ways to authenticate the source of genuine and malicious trafficThe suggested effort would simulate the results using data sets and technologies, as an addition to this paper in the futureThis technique can detect strangely or faked IP addresses
