AbstractCloud encompasses diverse models and
technologies. Many of the applications interface with the
user via the Web. All the normal security vulnerabilities
are just as relevant to applications running on the cloud
as they are to applications running on conventional
hosting. Another type of security issues related with
Physical security where data center to be physically
secure against unauthorized access or potential natural
disasters.In this paper we discuss about security issues
on the cloud especially the DDOS attacks. The
distributed environment is prone to more attacks. The
DDOS attacks are done by the hacker with help of
command prompt or DOS or Linux terminals. The
maximum number of attacks in the distributed
environment in DDOS attacks.

SOME ABBREVATIONS:
DOS
DDOS
TCP
GPO
EC2
RDP
SSH
C. PING OF DEATH:
A ping of death involves sending malware to the
server. A ping normally 32 bytes sized. This attack
caused by sending an IP Packet above sized 65536
bytes allowed by IP Protocol. The operating doesnt
know heavy size of packets. So, they crashed, ceased
or freeze.
D. LAND ATTACK:
It consists of stream of TCP SYN packets send by
same name IP address and port number of server.
Service providers can able to block these attacks.

Denial Of Service
Distributed Denial Of Service
Transmission Control Protocol
Group Policy Object
Elastic Cloud 2
Remote Desktop Protocol
Secure Shell
VII. CONCLUSION
B. SMURF ATTACK:
Smurf attacks can be devastating, both to the
victim networkand to the network(s) used to amplify
the attack. An Internet control Message Protocol
(ICMP) Smurf attack is a brute-force attack on the
direct broadcast feature that is built in to the IP
protocol [17].
