Application Layer Distributed Denial of Service (App-DDoS) attack has become a major threat to web security. Attack detection is difficult as they mimic genuine user request. This paper proposes a clustering based correlation approach for detecting application layer DDoS attack on HTTP protocol. Proposed approach has two main modules ----Flow monitoring module and User behavior monitoring modul...

Distributed Denial of Service poses a significant threat to the Internet today. In these attacks, an attacker runs a malicious process in compromised systems under his control and generates enormous number of requests, which in turn can easily exhaust the computing resources of a victim web server within a short period of time. Many mechanisms have been proposed till date to combat this attack....

During the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, computers are made to attack other computers. Newer Firewalls now days are providing prevention against such attack traffics. McAfee SecurityCenter Firewall is one of the most popular security software installed on millions of Internet connected computers worldwide. “McAfee claims that if you have installed McAfee SecurityCentre with anti...

Distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attacks have emerged as a prevalent way to compromise the availability of networks/servers, which imposed financial losses for e-commerce businesses. Many defenses that mitigate the effect of ongoing DDOS attacks have been proposed. However, none of the defenses have been widely deployed on the Internet infrastructure at this point because of a lack of under...

The shrew or pulsing DDoS (Distributed Denial-of-Service) attacks, also known as RoQ (Reduction of Quality) attacks, are stealthy, periodic, and low-rate in volume. The shrew attacks could be even more detrimental to network resources than the flooding type of DDoS attacks. Shrew attacks appear periodically in low volume, thereby damaging the victim servers for a long time without being detecte...

Nowadays, users can easily access and download network attack tools, which often provide friendly interfaces and easily operated features, from the Internet. Therefore, even a naive hacker can also launch a large scale DoS or DDoS attack to prevent a system, i.e., the victim, from providing Internet services. In this paper, we propose an agent based intrusion detection architecture, which is a ...

The key objective of a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is to compile multiple systems across the Internet with infected zombies/agents and form botnets of networks. Such zombies are designed to attack a particular target or network with different types of packets. The infected systems are remotely controlled either by an attacker or by self-installed Trojans (e.g. roj/Flood-IM) that...

Alyssa’s zombies do not launch a SYN flood or issue dummy packets that will only congest the Web server’s access link. Instead, the zombies fetch file...
