Statistical-Based Mechanism For Detecting Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Ddos Attacks

This thesis proposes an approach to detect HTTP flooding DDoS attacks on web servers. The proposed approach consists of five phases to achieve the goal of the research, as follows: (1) Data pre-processing, (ii) Aggregated packets attributes aim to aggregate the packets every (t) time based on three...
