Title: | Detecting pulsing denial-of-service attacks with nondeterministic attack intervals | Authors: | Luo, X Chan, EWW Chang, RKC |
Issue Date: | 2-Mar-2009 | Source: | EURASIP Journal on advances in signal processing, 2 Mar. 2009, v. 2009, 256821, p. 1-13 | Abstract: | This paper addresses the important problem of detecting pulsing denial of service (PDoS) attacks which send a sequence of attack pulses to reduce TCP throughput. Unlike previous works which focused on a restricted form of attacks, we consider a very broad class of attacks. In particular, our attack model admits any attack interval between two adjacent pulses, whether deterministic or not. It also includes the traditional flooding-based attacks as a limiting case (i.e., zero attack interval). Our main contribution is Vanguard, a new anomaly-based detection scheme for this class of PDoS attacks. The Vanguard detection is based on three traffic anomalies induced by the attacks, and it detects them using a CUSUM algorithm. We have prototyped Vanguard and evaluated it on a testbed. The experiment results show that Vanguard is more effective than the previous methods that are based on other traffic anomalies (after a transformation using wavelet transform, Fourier transform, and autocorrelation) and detection algorithms (e.g., dynamic time warping). | Keywords: | Computer crime Telecommunication traffic Transmission control protocol Wavelet transforms |
