Analysis of Effectiveness of Slow Read DoS Attack and Influence of Communication Environment
Shunsuke Tayama, Hidema Tanaka · 2017
Slow Read DoS attack is a technique of exhausting connection resources by delaying communication after three-way handshake. In this paper, we analyze the effectiveness of Slow Read DoS attack by experiments in virtual network simulating real communication environment. We also propose a Synchronous Slow Read DoS attack method. From the analysis, we found that the communication speed and the Timeout of server affect the effectiveness of attack and we derive the optimal settings for proposed attack method. As the result, we confirmed that our method is more advantageous than previous schemes under the condition of the same total number of attack connections.
