SECURITY ISSUES IN SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES

M OTIVATION : DDOS attack in network and transport layer has been in discussion a lot but not much in application layer. This attack is simple but very difficult in tracking down the parties involved. Preventing this attack we can save users valuable time. Generally DDOS attacks are performed in the government websites so that anti government can be in profit. Security risks. Reputation and crediblity risks.

PROBLEM DEFINATION & OBJECTIVE Study of DDOS attack on Facebook and its detection by using the concept of botspy.

M ETHODOLOGY : ATTACKS Security plans Theoretical Framework Analysis Literature Review Result Analysis Simulation Modeling Conclusion Inclusion Of Security Plans

GANTT CHART: Literature review Objective And Motivation Theoretical Framework analysis Methodology Security plan Simulation and Modelling Result and Conclusion Report Writing

FUTURE WORK: Defence against DDOS attack Tracking botnets i.e to observe botnets Gather some data about the existing botnets.

DELIVERABLE & CONCLUSION Security of Social networking sites from attacks like DDOS attack. Security of users from being involved in malicious activities unknowingly Availability of network resources and avoid interrupt network service for a long period of time. Security for those who suffers from revenue loss due to these attacks. Good business reputation and less operational expenses. to detect traffic anomalies and filter out only the attack traffic while maintaining the uninterrupted flow of legitimate traffic.
