Preventing DDoS using Bloom Filter: A Survey
Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) is a menace for service provider and
prominent issue in network security. Defeating or defending the DDoS is a prime
challenge. DDoS make a service unavailable for a certain time. This phenomenon
harms the service providers, and hence, loss of business revenue. Therefore,
DDoS is a grand challenge to defeat. There are numerous mechanism to defend
DDoS, however, this paper surveys the deployment of Bloom Filter in defending a
DDoS attack. The Bloom Filter is a probabilistic data structure for membership
query that returns either true or false. Bloom Filter uses tiny memory to store
information of large data. Therefore, packet information is stored in Bloom
Filter to defend and defeat DDoS. This paper presents a survey on DDoS
defending technique using Bloom Filter.Comment: 9 pages, 1 figure. This article is accepted for publication in EAI

Toward Network-based DDoS Detection in Software-defined Networks
To combat susceptibility of modern computing systems to cyberattack, identifying and disrupting malicious traffic without human intervention is essential. To accomplish this, three main tasks for an effective intrusion detection system have been identified: monitor network traffic, categorize and identify anomalous behavior in near real time, and take appropriate action against the identified threat. This system leverages distributed SDN architecture and the principles of Artificial Immune Systems and Self-Organizing Maps to build a network-based intrusion detection system capable of detecting and terminating DDoS attacks in progress
An Efficient Analytical Solution to Thwart DDoS Attacks in Public Domain
In this paper, an analytical model for DDoS attacks detection is proposed, in
which propagation of abrupt traffic changes inside public domain is monitored
to detect a wide range of DDoS attacks. Although, various statistical measures
can be used to construct profile of the traffic normally seen in the network to
identify anomalies whenever traffic goes out of profile, we have selected
volume and flow measure. Consideration of varying tolerance factors make
proposed detection system scalable to the varying network conditions and attack
loads in real time. NS-2 network simulator on Linux platform is used as
simulation testbed. Simulation results show that our proposed solution gives a
drastic improvement in terms of detection rate and false positive rate.
However, the mammoth volume generated by DDoS attacks pose the biggest
challenge in terms of memory and computational overheads as far as monitoring
and analysis of traffic at single point connecting victim is concerned. To
address this problem, a distributed cooperative technique is proposed that
distributes memory and computational overheads to all edge routers for
detecting a wide range of DDoS attacks at early stage.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1203.240
Flooding attacks to internet threat monitors (ITM): Modeling and counter measures using botnet and honeypots
The Internet Threat Monitoring (ITM),is a globally scoped Internet monitoring
system whose goal is to measure, detect, characterize, and track threats such
as distribute denial of service(DDoS) attacks and worms. To block the
monitoring system in the internet the attackers are targeted the ITM system. In
this paper we address flooding attack against ITM system in which the attacker
attempt to exhaust the network and ITM's resources, such as network bandwidth,
computing power, or operating system data structures by sending the malicious
traffic. We propose an information-theoretic frame work that models the
flooding attacks using Botnet on ITM. Based on this model we generalize the
flooding attacks and propose an effective attack detection using Honeypots
