are required to complete a capstone senior design projectduring their final year. The senior design project affords students the opportunity to applytheir individual technical skills and knowledge on a real world project, as well as developtheir problem solving skills, communication skills, and teamwork skills.DDoS attack has become a rapidly growing threat to today’s Internet. A large number ofDDoS detection and defense mechanisms have been proposed to combat the problem.In this paper, we present the design and implementation of an Information Technology seniordesign project named DDoS Attack, Detection and Defense Simulation. In this project, weaim to set up test bed and configure the network environment to simulate the “real-world”DDoS
