AbstractDDoS attack detection in a single dimension cannot cope with complex and new attacks. Aiming at the problems existing in single dimension detection, this paper proposes an algorithm to detect DDoS attack based on multi-dimensional entropy. Firstly, the algorithm selects multiple dimensions and establishes corresponding decision function for each dimension and calculates its information entropy. Secondly, the multidimensional sliding window CUSUM algorithm without parameters is used to synthesize the detection results of three dimensions to determine whether it is attacked by DDoS. Finally, the data set published by MIT Lincoln Laboratory is used for testing. Experimental results show that compared with single dimension detection algorithm, this method has good detection rate and low false alarm rate.
