Abstract

In recent times among the multitude of attacks present in network system, DDoS attacks have emerged to be the attacks with the most devastating effects. The main objective of this paper is to propose a system that effectively detects DDoS attacks appearing in any networked system using the clustering technique of data mining followed by classification. This method uses a Heuristics Clustering Algorithm (HCA) to cluster the available data and Naive Bayes (NB) classification to classify the data and detect the attacks created in the system based on some network attributes of the data packet. The clustering algorithm is based in unsupervised learning technique and is sometimes unable to detect some of the attack instances and few normal instances, therefore classification techniques are also used along with clustering to overcome this classification problem and to enhance the accuracy. Naive Bayes classifiers are based on very strong independence assumptions with fairly simple construction to derive the conditional probability for each relationship. A series of experiment is performed using “The CAIDA UCSD DDoS Attack 2007 Dataset” and “DARPA 2000 Dataset” and the efficiency of the proposed system has been tested based on the following performance parameters: Accuracy, Detection Rate and False Positive Rate and the result obtained from the proposed system has been found that it has enhanced accuracy and detection rate with low false positive rate.

Summary

Introduction

In today’s world of high speed internet and network system, security of system. Among various possible network threats and attacks, Distributed Denial of Service attack is the attack with most devastating effects. A Denial of Service attack is the type of attack that typically uses a single computer and one internet connection to flood a targeted system or resources [1] so as to prevent the legitimate users from accessing the system or the resources. A distributed denial of service attack is one in which a multitude of compromised systems attack a single target, thereby causing denial of service for users of the targeted system
