Evaluating the impact of eDoS attacks to cloud facilities

摘要: The complexity of modern cloud facilities requires attentive management policies that should encompass all aspects the system. Security is a critical issue, as intrusions, misuse or denial service attacks may damage both users and provider including its reputation on market. Disruptive happen fast, cause evident short term damages are usually result operations hard to disguise. On other hand, Energy oriented Denial Service (eDoS) aim at producing continuous minor damages, eventually with long consequences. These lasting difficult detect. In this paper we model analyse behaviour system under eDoS attack. We study impact in terms energy consumption an attack strategy previously proposed literature compare it strategies propose. Our findings show literature, based keeping close saturation, not optimal (from point view attacker) presence non-constant workload there trade-off between aggressiveness attacker duration order maximise damage.
