A Proactive Design to Detect Denial of Service Attacks Using SNMP-MIB ICMP Variables
Yousef Shaheen, Mohammad Al Kasassbeh · 2019
One of the most cyber-attacks that attract cyber criminals is Denial of Services (DOS) Attack. DOS attack aims to reduce the network appliances performance from doing their intended functions. Moreover, DOS Attacks can cause huge damage to the data Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability. This paper introduced a system that detects the network traffic and varies the DOS attacks from normal traffic based on an adopted dataset. The results had shown that the adopted algorithms with the ICMP variables achieved a high accuracy percentage with approximately 99.6% in detecting ICMP Echo attack, HTTP Flood Attack, and Slowloris attack. Moreover, the designed model succeeded with a rate of 100% in varying normal traffic from various DOS attacks.
