A survey of Low-rate Denial-of-Service attacks
Yi Han · Jisuanji kexue yu tansuo · 2008
Low-rate denial-of-service attack is a novel category of attacks that are aimed at exploiting the adaptive behavior exhibited by several network and system protocols. Different from traditional DoS attacks, this kind of attacks can make serious destroy on the victims by using periodically non-suspicious low-rate attack streams. Since they have been brought forward, these new attacks have caused special concern; the problems of detecting and defending towards them have gradually become important research issues in the network security area. In the paper, theoretical analyses, modeling and simulations of various LDoS attacks are presented, the difficulties of defending and current solutions are discussed. At the end of the paper, several problems which need further researches are put forward, in order to provide reference to the future research work on the defending of this kind of attacks.
