THE NETWORK DATA PROCESSING MODULE FOR DETECTION OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE ATTACKS IN OPENSTACK CLOUD COMPUTING PLATFORM

Currently the market of cloud services is developing fast. The paper presents a network data processing module for security component protecting cloud computing system again DDoS-attacks. The developed module processes both internal and external relative cloud infrastructure network traffic allowing thus security component to detect DDoS-attacks independently on the location of the attack source relative cloud infrastructure. The paper also presents the results of module load testing proving that the developed module is able to process volumes process network traffic exceeding the power of modern DDoS-attacks.
