Abstract
An improved system and method of measuring and evaluating a distributed denial of services (DDOS) attack includes arranging for a DDoS attack by engaging a network provider offering malicious services to attack a honeypot computerized device. The honeypot includes a packet sniffer used to measure the values of parameters of the DDoS attack useful in determining the method of attack, the origin and extent of the attack, in calculating methods for early determination that a DDoS attack is occurring, and methods of countering this type of DDoS attack before it occurs.
