DOS attack pattern generator for training the neural network based classifier to dynamically blacklist IP in honeypot based NIDS/NIPS

Abstract

A denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) or distributed denial- of-service attack (DDoS attack) is an attempt to make a computer resource unavailable to its intended users [1]. There are many types of Denial of Service Attacks. [2] gives a very detailed explanation of different types of attacks. We focus mainly on the spoofing related attacks and our observation on the pattern of the different types of DoS attacks shows that with minor changes in the program we could generate all the other types of attacks. Here are few DoS attacks that we would like to mention whose signature and the procedure of generating is described at [2].
