Effective Bandwidth Based Distributed DoS Attack Detection and Source Identification Using Maximum Flow Techniques

The DDoS attack is one of the most threatening factors affecting the internet services. Now days, most of the common attacks are targeting the gaming industry, online shopping web sites followed by the software and media sectors. Many of the service providers are available to detect and prevent the DDoS attacks. But their software's are not updated enough to detect the recent time attacks. Cyber security challenges include rising ransomware attacks, AI -powered threats, supply chain risks, and frequent data breaches. In the current IoT trend, available DDoS defenses aren't sufficient. This work is aimed to propose a novel BW- DDoS attack detection approach based on maximum data flow identification in networks. The proposed method is faster and taking less number of iterations to determine the maximum data flow and also trace out the source of the attacks with minimum time compared with existing approaches.
