Security on computer networks is currently a matter that must be considered especially for internet users because many risks must be borne if this is negligent of attention. Data theft, system destruction, and so on are threats to users, especially on the server-side. DDoS is a method of attack that is quite popular and is often used to bring down servers. This method runs by consuming resources on the server computer so that it can no longer serve requests from the user side. With this problem, security is needed to prevent the DDoS attack, one of which is using iptables that has been provided by Linux. Implementing iptables can prevent or stop external DDoS attacks aimed at the server.

The current paper addresses relevant network security vulnerabilities introduced by network devices within the emerging paradigm of Internet of Things (IoT) as well as the urgent need to mitigate the negative effects of some types of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks that try to explore those security weaknesses. We design and implement a Software-Defined Intrusion Detection System (IDS) that reactively impairs the attacks at its origin, ensuring the “normal operation” of the network infrastructure. Our proposal includes an IDS that automatically detects several DDoS attacks, and then as an attack is detected, it notifies a Software Defined Networking (SDN) controller. The current proposal also downloads some convenient traffic forwarding decisions from the SDN controller to network devices. The evaluation results suggest that our proposal timely detects several types of cyber-attacks based on DDoS, mitigates their negative impacts on the network performance, and ensures the correct data delivery of normal traffic. Our work sheds light on the programming relevance over an abstracted view of the network infrastructure to timely detect a Botnet exploitation, mitigate malicious traffic at its source, and protect benign traffic.
