Resource Depletion Attacks
CC Attacks
CC Attack is one type of DDoS attack which uses proxy servers to flood victim servers by sending seemingly legitimate requests (usually using HTTP GET). Named after the tool, CC (ChallengeCollapsar), attackers creatively use proxy mechanisms to exploit the numerous and widely available free proxy servers to launch DDoS attacks. The fact that many of these free proxy servers support annonymous mode makes tracking difficult.
Botnet Attacks
A Botnet is a number of Internet computers that have, without their owners’ awareness, been taken over by Command-and-Control(C&C) servers. A spread of malware gives the attackers chances to own a botnet. The main problem with botnets is that they are hidden and may stay undetected unless one is looking for a specific activity. Botnets are associated with different types like IRC, HTTP or P2P for different communication ways between the Bots and C&C Servers.
