A Chaotic Attack Offering with Improving Mechanism in Economic Denial of Sustainability

EDoS (Economic Denial of Sustainability) attack is always a major threat to the cloud platform. Many researchers have developed countermeasure mechanisms against EDoS attack. The EDoS-ADS is proposed by Shawahna et al. in 2018, this mechanism can identify and drop the attack requests effectively. We attempted to discover the potential drawback of Shawahna et al. scheme and highlighted the potential risks. Inspiring by the Yo-Yo attack, we developed an approach to make EDoS-ADS scale up without dropping the attack requests. The experiments in our study show that our approach is indeed able to confuse EDoS-ADS mechanisms in efficiency.
