A Review on Detection Approaches for Distributed Denial of Service Attacks

In recent time among multiple attacks occurs in a network system, DDoS attack is the most common attack with main disturbing effect. DDoS is the serious security threat, it challenge the accessibility of resources to legitimate clients. This attack causes the denial of service to genuine user due to flooding of traffic from unauthorized user. Various kind of DDoS attack are identified which include tcp, syn flood, ping flood attack, udp flood, smurf attack. Researchers have used various defense mechanisms for detection of DDoS attack, various data mining algorithm is also used for detection approach Clustering, classification, regression, neural network, Bayesian are few of the algorithm which previously used for attack detection. From research analysis, clustering and classification algorithm of data mining gives best result in terms of accuracy, time, true positive, true negative, false positive and false negative rate and detection rate. When clustering algorithm combines with classification algorithm give high accuracy. In this paper we are going to discuss varied study conducted by different researchers.
