In cyber-security Denial-of-service and distributed Dos are the major threats, DOS and DDOS works by denying service users approved as genuine, traffic is jammed by the overwhelming illegal traffic frequencies. an attacker inflates its capability of attacks with fast puzzle solving software and graphics processing unit (GPU) hardware to significantly weaken the effectiveness of server. In this paper, we show to prevent DOS/DDOS attackers from inflating their challenge solving capabilities. To
