A denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) or distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS attack) is an attempt to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users. In this paper, a new technique for detecting DoS attacks is proposed; it detects DOS attacks using a set of classifiers and visualizes them in real time. This technique is based on the collection of network parameter values (data packets) which are automatically represented by simple geometric graphs form in order to highlight relevant elements. The effectiveness of the proposed technique has been proven through a MATLAB simulation of network traffic drawn from the 10% KDD, and a comparison with other classification techniques for intrusion detection.
