DDoS defence for service availability in cloud computing by Osanaiye, Opeyemi Ayokunle

“…The main contributions are as follows: (i) This thesis proposes an IP spoofing detection technique that uses a passive and active host-based operating system (OS) fingerprinting to detect the true source of a packet during a spoofed DDoS attack; (ii) this thesis proposes an ensemble-based multi-filter feature selection (EMFFS) method that combines the output of four filter methods to achieve an optimum selection, and a decision-tree classifier to detect DDoS attacks; and (iii) this thesis proposes a change-point monitoring algorithm to detect DDoS flooding attacks against cloud services, by examining the packet IAT. …”
