SUMMARY:

Denial of service (DoS) attacks, and their distributed variant (DDoS), represents one of the most significant risks to the availability of services operating on the Internet. This cyber threat continues to grow worldwide and is detrimental even as network protection technologies advance. Developing mechanisms that can detect and mitigate the impacts of malicious traffic generated by DDoS attacks is a current challenge in network security, with a direct impact on the lives of the world's population. This paper proposes the Smart Defender system as a solution, consisting of Smart Detection (SD) and Smart Protection (SP) tools that operate in an integrated and distributed manner. The proposed detection system makes inferences based on pre-existing signatures using Machine Learning (ML) techniques to classify network traffic. The protection system, in turn, applies rules to control useless traffic and mitigate the effects of DDoS, considering the information shared by the detection system and the security policy of the local network. In the experiments performed, modern reference data sets and semi-controlled laboratory environment tests were used. The results show that the proposed solution is capable of early detection of high hit rate and low false alarm rate DDoS attacks, as well as isolating the threat in the first minute of attack.
