DDoS Detection

The challenges DDoS-detection address:

• Detection of Distributed Denial-of-Service attacks towards services, hosts and/or networks.
• 24/7 real-time monitoring for slow response of services and/or networks.

A Distributed Denial-of-Service attack may seriously threaten any organisation who relies on the Internet for delivering services or conducting business. An attack may last from a few minutes to several days, and will allocate all resources excessively to prevent normal operation. The economic consequences of network downtime are difficult to estimate since it involves lost productivity, transaction loss, lost opportunities and customer dissatisfaction. For most businesses however, the costs will be huge. The challenge of providing an effective countermeasure is to distinguish and filter attacker content without disturbing legitimate network traffic. The countermeasure needs to be performed at the Internet Service Provider since a successful attack will consume all available network resources. A real-time detection and reporting of DDoS-attacks is the important basic condition for taking the correct countermeasures.
