Abstract(in English) Application layer DDoS attacks occur frequently. In order to detect the attacks in network, a security appliance with Deep Packet Inspection capability is deployed. Since it costs much to apply Deep Packet Inspection for every traffic flow, it is practical to deploy 2-stage detection model: 1st-stage finds suspicious traffic flows and extradites only the suspicious flows to the security appliance, and then 2nd-stage executes detailed analysis. However, the conventional methods in the 1st-stage could fail to find low-volume application DDoS attacks since it only calculates the amount of traffic. In this paper, we propose a new 1st-stage detection method based on continuous packet arrival duration. We show the fact that there is a distinct difference in duration of continuous packet arrival between normal traffic and attack traffic. We describe how this insight is applied to the proposed method and discuss the effectiveness of the method by qualitative evaluation comparing with the conventional method. We also discuss the variation of undetected rate by parameter setting.
