Abstract-Recently, browser-based distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, in which a malicious JavaScript program is distributed through an advertisement network, and runs in the background of the web browser, were observed. In this paper, we address a question whether browser-based DDoS attacks can be realized without JavaScript. We construct new browser-based DDoS attacks based only on HTML functions, and compare them with the existing JavaScript-based DDoS attacks in efficiency.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
