MULTIPLE DETECTOR METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR DEFEATING LOW AND SLOW APPLICATION DDOS ATTACKS

摘要

Methods and systems for detecting and defeating a low and slow application DDoS attack, comprising: computing the Entropy of a plurality of detectors, at least in part selected from a group Geo detector, a group response size detector, a group preference detector, and an individual client behavior detector, wherein the plurality of detectors each describe a feature of traffic affected by the DDoS attack; composing the plurality of detectors on one or more of a Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve basis and a correlation basis; and implementing a countermeasure to mitigate the DDoS attack.
