Re: Re: FW: IDS Signature Confidence

Vipul,

There is a third kind of DoS attacks that exploit's predictability model of a protocol. Shrew attack is one such attack 
which exploits deterministic nature of TCP’s congestion control algorithm. 

Even though there aren't many of this kind but these are extremely difficult to detect and mitigate

Thanks
