Effective Pattern Identification Model for DDoS Attack Detection

Abstract:

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are one of the major challenges to Internet community. Attackers send legitimate packets with often changing information from various compromised systems at random and at a very high frequency, rendering the target non-responsive for normal traffic. DDoS attacks are difficult to detect with traditional detection methods and standard Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). Standard IDS tries to analyze the network traffic or system logs trying to identify emerging patterns on the network traffic. But due to randomness of the package origins it is difficult segregate true, false positive and normal traffic. This paper proposes a model based on Artificial Neural Networks to identify anomalies and detect DDoS patterns. In the proposed system sets of known characteristic features, which can separate attacks from normal traffic, are fed to the system to train the Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). This self learn system improves with each new attack as the false positives decrease and detection accuracy improves.

Awaiting session recording. Will post it soon.

Infra store – the next IT marketplace

We are all familiar with the Apple App Store or Google Play Store we visit every day to download apps, games and necessary updates for our phones and tablets. The app store model revolutionized the marketplace idea, making it easy for both software vendors and consumers to publish and install software without the hassles of software building, distribution and deployment.

Do we know the enterprise IT challenges...???

Last night during the dinner chat with one of my old school pal, we stumbled on the topic of current issues that enterprises are stuck with. It went on almost for 30 mins. But what made it less interesting to me is that whole discussion was around cost cutting, our sourcing, rationalization etc., It is really boring, we are still taking about the tip of iceberg. But the question is due we really know what the real challenges are. I am not talking about a laundry list with 30/40/50 items. I am looking why we really have those items? (whatever the count is). I could not get this out of mind and started listing, order, consolidating, prioritizing those items to make sure I am completely confident that as a consultant I am doubly sure about them. Of course, it is debatable. But this is what I think are core problem and rest of list is the symptoms. 1. Dynamic market conditions are forcing business to adopt rapidly while IT is able to respond to this 2. Day by day IT is becoming exp

Just Buzz... Where is AI?

Speaking to Recode’s Kara Swisher and MSNBC’s Ari Melber, Pichai said AI is “one of the most important things that humanity is working on. It’s more profound than, I don’t know, electricity or fire,” adding that people learned to harness fire for the benefits of humanity, but also needed to overcome its downsides, too. Pichai also said that AI could be used to help solve climate change issues, or to cure cancer. We are seeing some exciting things in the industry, Samsung’s massive 8K TVs apparently use AI to upscale lower resolution images for the big screen. Sony has created a new version of the Aibo robot dog, which this time promises more artificial intelligence. Travelmate’s robot suitcase will use AI to drive around and follow its owner wherever they go.  Kohler has invented Numi, a toilet that has Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant built in etc., But despite all this, it does leave me wondering: is artificial intelligence really what we should be calling this revolution?
