Paper Title
Using rank correlation detection (rcd) algorithm as countermeasure to distributed reflection dos (dr-dos) attack

Abstract
DDoS stands for Distributed Denial of Service attack. In today’s world, everything is dependent on the web and therefore the security of the websites on the internet is a very important issue. The Distributed Reflection DoS (DR-DoS) attack is superior version of DoS attack. The attacker uses the innocent nodes present in the network as reflectors and sends continuous requests towards them with the massive packets, most of the current DR-DoS attack detection mechanisms are available which contains their own protocols and cannot be used on another specific protocols i.e., the system for TCP protocol cannot be used for detection of a UDP protocol attack detection. At this point RCD comes into the picture and RCD is used to develop a system which is protocol independent. RCD is the most efficient algorithm to differentiate the normal flow and the malicious flow of the packets coming towards the victim, it finds the ranking between the different flows and if the flows are detected to be malicious at the router then that flow of packets is discarded directly from the router. Here RCD works as a indicator to the DR-DoS attack. Index Terms- Rank Correlation, RCD, Distributed Reflection, DoS, Denial of Service.
