摘要：Despite the benefits that encourage organizations to move toward the cloud, security issues are strongbarriers. Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack can target cloud computing environments and compromise theavailability of cloud-based services. Thus, offensive techniques are highly recommended to detect DDoS and decreasethe possibility of their success. One of the techniques used to detect such attacks is machine-learning. In this paper, theperformance and detection accuracies of three supervised machine learning classifiers are compared:Naive Bayes,Decision Tree, and Linear Discriminate Analysis. The impact of the training sample size onclassifier accuracy isinvestigated as well. Furthermore, a novel accuracy estimation method, F-Hold Cross-Validation, is proposed andcompared to the K-Fold Cross-Validation method to assess it. The results show that F-Hold Cross-Validation is timeefficientand its estimated values are acceptable.
