Abstract

In a world that is becoming increasingly dependent on In- ternet communication, Denial of Service (DoS) attacks have evolved into a major security threat which is easy to launch but difficult to defend against. In order for DoS countermea- sures to be effective, the attack must be detected early and accurately. In this paper we propose a DoS detection tech- nique based on observation of the incoming traffic and a com- bination of traditional likelihood estimation with a recurrent random neural network (r-RNN) structure. We select input features that describe essential information on the incoming traffic and evaluate the likelihood ratios for each input, to fuse them with a r-RNN. We evaluate the performance of our method in terms of false alarm and correct detection rates with experiments on a large networking testbed, for a variety of input traffic.
