DDOS Attacks in Cloud Computing and its Preventions

Cloud Computing is a popular phrase that is shorthand for applications that were developed to be rich Internet applications that run on the Internet (or “Cloud”). Cloud computing enables tasks to be assigned to a combination of software and services over a network. This network of servers is the cloud. Cloud computing can help businesses transform their existing server infrastructures into dynamic environments, expanding and reducing server capacity depending on their requirements. As it provides services to customers, so same way time it provides facility to attackers. They are several types of threats that attacks the Cloud Computing and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) threat is the most prominent attacks in this area of computing This paper provides a wide survey on various DDOS attacks and its preventions, By using neif and Honeypot techniques it helps in preventing DDOS attacks from cloud computing.
