In the world of today cyber security has become of upmost importance, it provides a means for protecting vital
information that is uploaded to the internet. A vulnerability detection system seeks to detect possible exploits in
systems that can be used to harm or steal information. On mobile platforms security is also an issue and various
means have been created to combat these security flaws. One of the commonest vulnerabilities know in the
world is that of the Denial of Service (DoS) attack, even though they are many ways in which this can be
conquered there is no true solution that may work for every platform .This study focuses on the effect of Denial
of Service attack on a mobile platform, along with a viable and easily deployable solution. This will give
researchers an insight into the security threats that mobile platforms have and also give a solution to be built
upon for development of secure applications in the future.
