Application Layer Denial of Services Attack Detection Based on StackNet

Abstract

© 2020, World Academy of Research in Science and Engineering. All rights reserved. Denial of Services (DoS) Attack is one of the most advanced attacks targeting cybercriminals. The DoS attack is designed to reduce the performance of network devices by performing their intended functions. In addition, the confidentiality, reliability and quality of data can be compromised by DoS attacks. In this paper, a new model is introduced that detects network traffic and varies type of application layer DoS attacks. The proposed model usesStackNet architecture which consists of three-layer that works in the feed-forward method. The results showed that the proposed model had a high accuracy level of 99.3% in the measurement of application-layerDoS attacks.
