Distributed Denial of service (DDoS) attacks has become a severe threat to the security of Application layer and Network Layer. In this paper the main concern is on Application layer DDoS attacks. These attacks avoid most intrusion prevention systems by sending numerous HTTP requests. Since most of these attacks are launched unexpectedly and severely, a fast intrusion prevention system is desirable to detect and try to lessen these attacks as soon as possible. In proposed system a Honey Pot Technique is used, it is one of the most successful techniques used to collect the sample of malware for the purpose of analysis and identification of attacks. It is an innovative technology which consists of massive energy and possibilities in the field of security. It helps in reading the behavior of the attack and attacker information. It is also a concept for the file security in the cloud. Promising results have been obtained from our proposed system over the existing system.
