title = "Artificial Neural Networks in the Detection of Known and Unknown DDoS Attacks: Proof-of-Concept",
abstract = "A Distributed Denial of Service attack (DDoS) is designed to overload a target device and its networks with packets to damage its resources or services. This paper proposes an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) detection engine to flag known and unknown attacks from genuine traffic. Based on experiments and data analysis, specific patterns are selected to separate genuine from DDoS packets, thus allowing normal traffic to reach its destination. The mitigation process is triggered when the detection system identifies attacks based on the known characteristic features (patterns) that were fed to the ANN during the training process. Such characteristic patterns separate attacks from normal traffic. We have evaluated our solution against related work based on accuracy, sensitivity, specificity and precision.",
