    Detection and Prevention of Dos Attack On Websites

    The web is a complicated graph, with millions of websites interlinked together. In this project, we propose to use this website graph structure to mitigate flooding attacks on a website, using a new web referral architecture for privileged service. This proposed scheme allows a legitimate client to obtain a privilege URL through a click on a referral hyperlink, from a website trusted by the target website. Using that URL, the client can get privileged access to the target website in a manner that is far less vulnerable to a DDoS flooding attack. The proposed solution does not require changes to web client software and is extremely lightweight for referrer websites, which eases its deployment. The massive scale of the web site graph could deter attempts to isolate a website through blocking all referrers.
