Mitigation of HTTP-GET flood Attack
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 11
Abstract
An HTTP GET flood is a volumetric attack that does not use malformed packets, spoofing or reflection techniques. HTTP flood attacks may be one of the most advanced non-vulnerability threats facing web servers today. It is very hard for network security devices to distinguish between legitimate HTTP traffic and malicious HTTP traffic, and if not handled correctly, it could cause a high number of false-positive detections. Rate-based detection engines are also not successful at detecting HTTP flood attacks, as the traffic volume of HTTP floods may be under detection thresholds. Because of this, it is necessary to use several parameters detection including rate-based and rate-invariant. Denial of Service attacks to web services is called HTTPGET flood attack and threats of them increase day by day. In this type of attacks, malicious clients send a large number of HTTP-GET requests to the target web server automatically. Since these HTTP-GET requests have legitimate formats and are sent via normal TCP connections, an intrusion detection system (IDS) cannot detect them. In this paper, we propose mitigation techniques of HTTP-GET flood based on log file.
