In order to identify the attacked IP addresses, it is possible to apply a changepoint detection test to each time series corresponding to the number of TCP/SYN packets received by each destination IP address. However, it is impossible to identify the attacked IP addresses. With such an approach, it is only possible to set off an alarm when a massive change occurs in the aggregated series. In Siris and Papagalou (2006), the authors use the CUSUM algorithm to detect a changepoint in the time series corresponding to the aggregation of the SYN packets received by all the requested destination Internet protocol (IP) addresses. A backlog queue is built up in the system memory of the server to maintain all half-open connections, thus leading to a saturation of the server.

Until the SYN/ACK packet is acknowledged by the client, the connection remains half-opened for a period of at most the TCP connection timeout. More precisely, when a server receives a SYN packet, it returns a SYN/ACK (synchronization acknowledged) packet to the client. This attack consists of exploiting the TCP three-way hand-shake mechanism and its limitation in maintaining half- open connections. (2002) and by Siris and Papagalou (2006) for detecting DoS attacks of the TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) SYN (synchronization) ﬂooding type. It has, for instance, been used by Wang et al. A widely used changepoint detection technique in the network security field is the cumulated sum (CUSUM) algorithm which was first proposed by Page (1954) and which is a sequential approach. In the changepoint detection field, two different approaches are usually distinguished: the detection can be retrospective and hence with a fixed delay (batch approach) or online, with a minimal average delay (sequential approach). Hence, the network anomaly detection issue can be seen as a changepoint detection problem which is a familiar topic in statistics, see, for instance, Basseville and Nikiforov (1993) Brodsky and Darkhovsky (1993) Cs¨org˝ o and Horv´ ath (1997). The statistical approaches consist of modelling network anomalies by abrupt changes in some network characteristics occurring at unknown time instants.
