摘要
We present an original approach to detect SYN flooding attacks from the victim's side, by monitoring unusual handshake sequences. Detection is done in real-time to allow quick protection and help guarantee a proper defence. Our detection system uses an entropy measure to detect changes in the balance of TCP handshakes. Experiment results show that our method can detect SYN flooding attacks with better accuracy and robustness than traditional stateless methods, and with manageable overhead.
