The low-rate denial of service (LDoS) attack mainly exploits security vulnerabilities of adaptive mechanisms in network protocols and application services. The high-rate attack pulses within a short time interval are sent periodically, which will result in the degradation of service quality. The attack traffic is similar to normal traffic from legitimate users in the network, consequently, it is easy to escape the traditional detection methods because of its intermittence. Research works have demonstrated that there are fractal characteristics (self-similarity) of the network traffic over the large scale of time. Although the fractal characteristics of the network traffic will be changed under the LDoS attack, the variations of the fractal characteristics in some network states are not apparent in real-time detection. Based on the fractal characteristics, the fractal residual of the network traffic is analyzed through the Hurst parameters calculating process by R/S algorithm in this article. It can be found that the fractal residual of the network traffic can better reflect the different states of the LDoS attack. Combining the idea behind the sliding window, a novel fractal residual based real-time detection (FR-RED) method of the LDoS attack is proposed. The effectiveness of the method in this article is verified by performing some experiments on two platforms, the NS2 and test-bed. The results manifest the beginning and end of the LDoS attack can be estimated in real-time with high detection accuracy.

Here are some of the books I edited alongside testimonials
Catrin Russell — Epic Romantic Fantasy Author
"I can't even begin to express my gratitude to Dana. She has been an essential part of my personal growth as an author, and with my Light of Darkness series, she has been there from start to finish. Her ability to keep track on the smallest of details, even across the span of a series, is astounding, and the support she offers knows no bounds. The love Dana has for stories, big and small (including those behind them), shows through in her work as an editor. She is both meticulous and ruthless, but carries a heart of pure gold."
Tirza Schaefer — Contemporary Romance Author
Worked with her on:
"Dana takes your book's manuscript, a diamond in the rough, and shapes it into the most flawless, sparkling stone that is worthy of a king's crown. She has the talent to enhance your writing while staying in your style and encouraging you to shine."
Stjepan Varesevac-Cobet — Fantasy/Sci-fi Author
"Dana's work is professional and she pays close attention to every detail in the text. Communication with Dana is outstanding during editing and she is available for mutual correspondence when correcting text on books. I am very happy with her editing and my books now look the best as they can be. Working on editing with Dana was a pleasure because she corrects every detail in my books that I have by some chance missed as a writer of my book."
Jayne Lockwood/Lady Jaguar — Romantic Suspense Author
"This is the first time I’ve worked with Dana, and it definitely won’t be the last. I loved the process from start to finish, and my writing has definitely been enhanced as a result. Dana has a keen eye for detail and continuity. Her suggestions were on point and showed a great understanding of the genre I write in. She was efficient and very approachable when I had questions and I look forward to working with her again!"
Moriah Blackwood — Alien Romance Author
Worked with her on:
"Dana was wonderful to work with. Despite the time difference of being in two different continents, she kept up excellent communication. She had a good eye for finding plot holes, discrepancies, and inconsistencies—even tiny ones! She also helped tighten my book by pointing out repetitiveness, which I specifically asked her to do. She had wonderful insight and was fair with her constructive criticism while also offering positive feedback. I would definitely recommend her as an editor and plan to use her again in the future."
