High-potency Models of LDoS Attack against CUBIC + RED

A TCP-targeted low-rate denial of service (LDoS) attack exploits the vulnerabilities TCP congestion control mechanism. The most widely used algorithm, CUBIC, increases resilience to LDoS. This paper explores high-potency patterns LDoS attacks against CUBIC under RED queue management scenario, and develops two models, D- S-models maximize potency (i.e., damage-to-cost ratio). Theoretical analyses extensive experiments are conducted validate proper function models evaluate their performance. Test results show that can effectively throttle throughput. Under standard-configured network parameters, one unit damage up about 21 26 units for S-models, respectively, which represents an increase in 20%. potencies our proposed at least 250% greater than traditional model. In addition, with variations different these still efficient alternatively potency. Finally, countermeasures outlined. present study offers a basis explore new manners may be exploited by attackers inspires researchers develop measurements such attack.
