Detecting the Origin of DDoS Attacks in OpenStack Cloud Platform Using Data Mining Techniques

The paper presents the results of the design and implementation of detection system against DDoS attacks for OpenStack cloud computing platform. Proposed system uses data mining techniques to detect malicious traffic. Formal models of detecting components are described. To train data mining models real legitimate traffic was combined with modelled malicious one. Paper presents results of detecting the origin of DDoS attacks on cloud instances.
