Abstract

DoS attack situation changed by many situation elements. To make it easier to network manager´s awareness, a DoS attack situation visualization method based on Parallel Coordinates is proposed. In this method, node resource consumption is represented as the values of axes. Resource usages for each node express by a fold line. The overall impact and node resource consumption details of DoS attacks can effectively demonstrate. In addition, interactive K-Means algorithm is used to cluster nodes and color different classifications into different colors. Experimental result shows that the clustering performance is improved without increasing the burden on the system, and the visualization is enhanced.
