Simulation, Prevention and Mitigation of Ransomware, DDOS and Advanced Persistent Threats

In modern times, cyberattacks, such as Ransomware, Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS), and Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), have heavily impacted organizations, causing financial loss, data leakage, and business disruptions. This research paper focuses on simulating these attacks to understand their execution and impact. Through the use of varied tools and programming techniques, we examine how these threats exploit vulnerabilities and propose measures for prevention and mitigation to counter them. The goal of this research is to provide practical insights with the aim of improving cybersecurity defenses, reducing attack surfaces, and improving response mechanisms against the ever-changing threats.
