Overview:

The shrew or RoS attacks are low-rate DDoS attacks that degrade the QoS to end systems slowly but not to deny the services completely. These attacks are more difficult to detect than the flooding type of DDoS attacks. This paper explores the energy distributions of Internet traffic flows in frequency domain. Normal TCP traffic flows present some form of periodicity because of TCP protocol behavior. The results reveal that normal TCP flows can be segregated from malicious flows using some energy distribution properties. The paper discovers the spectral shifting of attack flows from that of normal flows. Combining flow-level spectral analysis with sequential hypothesis testing, a novel defense scheme against shrew DDoS or RoQ (reduction-of-service) attacks is proposed.
