App-DDoS detection method using partial binary tree based SVM algorithm by Bin ZHANG, Zihao LIU, Shuqin DONG, Lixun LI

“…As it ignored the detection of ramp-up and pulsing type of application layer DDoS (App-DDoS) attacks in existing flow-based App-DDoS detection methods,an effective detection method for multi-type App-DDoS was proposed.Firstly,in order to fast count the number of HTTP GET for users and further support the calculation of feature parameters applied in detection method,the indexes of source IP address in multiple time windows were constructed by the approach of Hash function.Then the feature parameters by combining SVM classifiers with the structure of partial binary tree were trained hierarchically,and the App-DDoS detection method was proposed with the idea of traversing binary tree and feedback learning to distinguish non-burst normal flow,burst normal flow and multi-type App-DDoS flows.The experimental results show that compared with the conventional SVM-based and naïve-Bayes-based detection methods,the proposed method has more excellent detection performance and can distinguish specific App-DDoS types through subdividing attack types and training detection model layer by layer.…”

Effects of Ischemic Acute Kidney Injury on Lung Water Balance: Nephrogenic Pulmonary Edema? by Rajit K. Basu, Derek Wheeler

“…Pro-inflammatory gene upregulation, chemokine over-expression, altered biochemical channel function, and apoptotic dysregulation manifest in the lung are now understood as “extra-renal” and pulmonary effects of AKI. AKI should be counted as a disease process that alters the endothelial integrity of the alveolar capillary barrier and has the potential to overpower the ability of the lung to regulate fluid balance. …”

Network threat situation assessment based on unsupervised multi-source data feature analysis by Hongyu YANG, Fengyan WANG

“…Aiming at the limitations of supervised neural network in the network threat testing task relying on data category tagging,a network threat situation evaluation method based on unsupervised multi-source data feature analysis was proposed.Firstly,a variant auto encoder-generative adversarial network (V-G) for security threat assessment was designed.The training data set containing only normal network traffic was input to the network collection layer of V-G to perform the model training,and the reconstruction error of the network output of each layer was calculated.Then,the reconstruction error learning was performed by the three-layer variation automatic encoder of the output layer,and the training abnormal threshold was obtained.The packet threat was tested by using the test data set containing the abnormal network traffic,and the probability of occurrence of the threat of each group of tests was counted.Finally,the severity of the network security threat was determined according to the probability of threat occurrence,and the threat situation value was calculated according to the threat impact to obtain the network threat situation.The simulation results show that the proposed method has strong characterization ability for network threats,and can effectively and intuitively evaluate the overall situation of network threat.…”
