The distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack is one of the most alarming threats on the Internet. A DDoS attack attempts to exhaust the critical resources of the intended target servers in order to deny their services to legitimate clients. In this paper we propose to detect TCP-based DDoS attacks by examining the correlation of incoming and outgoing ACK packets
