Abstract
A method and system for detecting a denial of service (DoS) attack when packets used in the DoS attack are user datagram protocol (UDP) packets, are disclosed. The method includes obtaining values from an application header of a UDP packet; and when, based on use of at least one modified probabilistic Bloom filter (PMBF) for a destination to which the UDP packet indicates that it is destined, the obtained values are not values expected to be found in a UDP packet destined for the destination: increasing an uncommon per sample (ups) estimate for the PMBF; and when the increased uncommon per sample estimate is greater than an upper ups threshold: setting an alarm state to on; suspending update of the PMBF counters; and initiating a mitigation action at least with respect to the UDP packet.
