abstract = "This paper presents a low-rate DoS attack that could be launched against iterative servers. Such an attack takes advantage
of the vulnerability consisting in the possibility of forecasting the instant at which an iterative server will generate a
response to a client request. This knowledge could allow a potential intruder to overflow application buffers with relatively
low-rate traffic to the server, thus avoiding the usual DoS IDS detection techniques. Besides the fundamentals of the
attack, the authors also introduce a mathematical model for evaluating the efficiency of this kind of attack. The evaluation
is contrasted with both simulated and real implementations. Some variants of the attack are also studied. The overall
results derived from this work show how the proposed low-rate DoS attack could cause an important negative impact
on the performance of iterative servers.",
