- Slow DoS attacks: definition and categorisation (literal)
- Abstract
- Denial of service (DoS) attacks evolved and consolidated as severe
security threats to network servers, not only for internet service providers
but also for governments. Earlier DoS attacks involved high-bandwidth
flood-based approaches exploiting vulnerabilities of networking and transport
protocol layers. Subsequently, distributed DoS attacks have been introduced
amplifying not only the overall attack bandwidth but also the attack source,
thus eluding simple counter measures based on source filtering. Current low
bit-rate approaches, instead, exploit vulnerabilities of application layer
protocols to accomplish DoS or DDoS attacks. Slow DoS attacks like, e.g.,
slowloris are particularly dangerous because they can bring down a well
equipped server using small attacker's bandwidth, hence they can effectively
run on low performance hosts, such as routers, game consoles, or mobile
phones. In this paper, we study slow DoS attacks, analysing in detail the current
threats and presenting a proper definition and categorisation for such attacks.
Hopefully, our work will provide a useful framework for the study of this field,
for the analysis of network vulnerabilities, and for the proposal of innovative
intrusion detection methodologies. (literal)
