摘要：Cloud Computing is a new habitat in computer oriented services. The cloud computing have some similarities of distributed system, according to those similarities cloud computing also uses the characteristic of networking. Therefore the security is the biggest concern to this environment, because the features of cloud computing is based on the sharing of its resources. In this paper we discussed mainly on the DOS attacks. Today’s denial of service attacks focus on certain applications. An intruder no needs to attack your entire infrastructure anymore. They can simply target the most resource-intensive applications that you’re executing on the cloud and use simple low-bandwidth attacks to make as unavailable to that service. Secure HTTP is a good specimen of DOS attacks. Denial-of-service attack is a venture to make a system or network resource that is unavailable to legitimate users. DOS attacks typically aim websites or services hosted on high-profile web servers such as card payment gateways, banks, and even domain name servers
