Research and survey of low-rate Denial of Service attacks

As a new breed of DoS(Denial of Service) attacks, LDoS (Low-rate DoS) attacks have attract attentions of scholars. The vulnerabilities of TCP(Transmission Control Protocol) and the principle of low-rate attacks are discussed. A variety of definitions and aliases of LDoS are listed. A survey of currently related works are summarized and simulation of attacks are investigated, which will help to direct the continued work such as finding the algorithms to detect and protect from LDoS attacks.
