Abstract | Cloud computing is a model which provides an easy, cheap, and flexible technological services. However, it poses some security problems. One of the most common security problems is the TCP DoS attack. This attack threatens any cloud in terms of energy consumption and resources exhaustion. In this paper, we propose a method to mitigate the DoS attacks in a cloud by reducing excessive energy consumption via limiting the number of packets. Instead of system shutdown, the proposed method ensures the availability of service. The proposed method can better manage the incoming packets by dropping packets from the most frequent requesting sources. This method shows that it can process 98.4% of the accepted packets during an attack. Furthermore, it is proved that dropping the most frequent requesting sources will always save more energy than not dropping when under attacks. |
