Defense against SYN Flood Attack using LPTR-PSO: A Three Phased Scheduling Approach

Abstract

Security has become a critical factor in today’s computation systems. The security threats that risk our confidential information can come in form of seemingly legitimate client request to server. While illegitimate requests consume the number of connections a server can handle, no valid new connections can be made. This scenario, named SYN-flooding attacks can be controlled through a fair scheduling algorithm that provides more opportunity to legal requests. This paper proposes a detailed scheduling approach named Largest Processing Time Rejection- Particle Swarm Optimization (LPTR-PSO) that defends the server against varying intensity SYN-flood attack scenarios through a three-phased algorithm. This novel approach considers the number of half-open connections in the server buffer and chooses a phase accordingly. The simulation results show that the proposed defense strategy improves the performance of under attack system in terms of memory occupancy of legal requests and residence time of attack requests.
