DNS Amplification attacks are a specific flavor of cybersecurity attack.These exploit the current implementation of the internet architecture.DNS amplification attacks allow for bad actors to take down the servers of a victim by overloading them with network traffic.My research intends to analyze the DNS amplification attack and see whether they are still something to be actively looked at as a dangerous threat to high profile targets.This will be done by looking into the history of DNS amplification attacks, seeing how the attack works from a network perspective, looking at real world utilizations of the attack, approaches to detection, and possible ways the attack may be modified in the future with improvements in AI.
