Title
Low-Rate DoS Attack Detection Based on Improved Logistic Regression
Abstract
Low-rate denial of service (LDoS) attack sends high-intensity burst data streams to victims, in order to reduce TCP traffic and cut down on network service capabilities. Since the LDoS attack is highly concealed, traditional DoS detection methods are inappropriate for detecting LDoS attacks. Although many detection methods for LDoS attacks have been proposed, these methods have the disadvantages of low efficiency, high overhead, and weak real-time performance. In view of the above problems, in this paper, a method based on an improved logistic regression model for detecting LDoS attacks is proposed. Based on the fact that the TCP traffic under the LDoS attack is lower than the normal average value and its distribution is more discrete, this method uses the network traffic to extract the eigenvalues such as average TCP, variance and sample entropy as the basis to classify the traffic data. In order to make the obtained attack-detection model more accurate and real-time, an improved logistic regression algorithm is used for data training. Finally, according to the obtained classifier, the regression analysis method is used to detect whether there is abnormal traffic, so as to determine whether LDoS attack has occurred in the network. Experiments on NS-2 and test-bed show that the method in this paper can detect LDoS attacks effectively and in real time with high accuracy, low false negative rate and false positive rate. Also, its complexity is reduced.
