Abstract

In CSA report entitled "The Notorious Nine: Cloud Computing Top Threats in 2013", DoS attack is ranked fifth. In the practical cloud computing environment, DoS attack is always the most effective and destructive threat, bringing a great impact on the cloud. We focus on VMware vSphere which is one of the most typical and prevalent cloud computing platforms. In this paper, we describe VMware vSphere's architecture, establishing entire cloud computing environment, manipulating internal DoS experiment, and putting forward the corresponding defense mechanisms.
