Overview:

A few low-rates, TCP-targeted Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks have been recently proposed, including the Shrew attack, Reduction of Quality (RoQ) attack, and Pulsing DoS (PDoS) attack. All of them use periodic attack pulses to throttle TCP flows. These attacks could potentially become major threats to the Internet's stability and therefore they have motivated the development of a number of detection mechanisms for such attacks. However, those detection mechanisms are designed for specific attacks. Moreover, they assume that the period of the attack pulses is a nonzero constant. Unfortunately, these assumptions can be easily thwarted by more sophisticated attack strategies.
