Low-Rate DoS (LDoS) attacks send periodical packet bursts to the bottleneck routers which can throttle the bandwidth of TCP flows. They are difficult to detect while severely degrading the Quality of Service (QoS) of TCP applications. By combining Power Spectrum Analysis with Information Entropy, we...
