Provided is a method for detecting abnormal traffic. The method comprises collecting non-access stratum (NAS) traffic between a user equipment (UE) and a mobility management node, identifying a ciphering algorithm supported by the UE from a network access request message transmitted from the UE to the mobility management node, and identifying the UE as a first type of terminal at risk based on a determination that the UE only supports a null ciphering algorithm.

Provided are methods of detecting a Diameter spoofing attack. According to an embodiment, the method comprises, obtaining a normal International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) from a packet of a Diameter S6a protocol transmitted from a Mobile Management Entity (MME) to a Home Subscriber Server (HSS) of a home network, adding a record comprising the normal IMSI to a session table, obtaining an Insert Subscriber Data Request (IDR) message of the Diameter S6a protocol and determining a category of the IDR message.
