AN ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK BASED APPROACH FOR DOS ATTACKS DETECTION IN MANET

Denials of Service (DoS) attacks are a serious threat for the prominent e-commerce internet sites such as Amazon, CNN, E*Trade, Yahoo and eBay. DoS attacks can consume memory, CPU, and network resources and damage or shutdown the operation of the resource under attack (victim). The quality of service enabled networks (QoS), which offer different levels of service, is vulnerable to such DoS attacks. Denial of service (Dos) is a type of attack in which a hacker issues a huge amount of packets to congeal specific servers' services, consequently blocking legitimate users from normal access to the services.
