DoS Attack Detection System Using Multivariate Correlation Analysis
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Computer science and Engineering
Abstract
There are many interconnected systems which we are working in our daily life i.e., cloud computing servers, web servers. These systems are now under the threat of various network attacks. Out of those, Denial of Service (DoS) causes serious impact to these interconnected systems. It happened so, because the server remains busy with the fake requests sent from the attackers by serving those fake requests. So, to increase the efficiency it is important to detect and prevent DoS attacks. In this paper, we present a DoS attack detection system that uses Multivariate Correlation Analysis (MCA) for accurate network traffic characterization by extracting the geometrical correlations between network traffic features. Our MCA based DoS attack detection system uses anomaly-based detection technique to recognize the attack. This makes our solution capable of detecting known and unknown DoS attacks effectively by learning the patterns of legitimate network traffic only. Moreover, our system uses Triangle Area Map which is capable of speed up the process of MCA. The effectiveness of our proposed detection system is evaluated using KDD Cup 99 dataset, and the influences of both non-normalized data and normalized data on the performance of the proposed detection system are examined.
