Meenakshi Choudhary, Sanjay Kumar Sharma . A Secure Lightweight Algorithm for Protecting Network from DoS Attack. International Journal of Computer Applications. 104, 7 ( October 2014), 39-44. DOI=10.5120/18217-9244
Protecting private networks from various attacks is the primary goal of Network managers of a company or office. The attack can be launched either from an insider or outsider. Among these attacks, Denial of service (DoS) attack is most important and has been attracting the interest of researchers. We are providing a lightweight Intrusion Detection and prevention system based on simple modified algorithm which protects the private networks from various DoS attacks. We have used a proper synchronization of IDS and Firewall for intrusion detection and blocking. We have implemented the system as a software application and also analyzed result and performance of the system.
