Simulation and Analysis of LDoS Attacks

Low-rate denial-of-service attack is a novel category of attacks that are based on exploiting the adaptive behavior exhibited by several network and system protocols. This attack through periodically non-suspicious low-rate attack pulsing, to reduce the performance of the victims. Based on the simulation of low-rate denial-of-service on NS2 platform, we analyze the defense performance of queue management mechanism itself to count the LDoS attack. Under the analysis of experiments result, we give some suggestions about counter technology.
