While IDS are crucial for network security, their effectiveness diminishes against such dynamic threats. The project aims to identify key features exploited by polymorphic attacks, enabling the creation of a feature list to improve detection. Using the SlowHTTP tool for generating attack profiles and the LycoStand tool for essential feature extraction, this research seeks to develop effective mechanisms to analyze polymorphic attacks and its features, addressing the limitations of IDS in identifying these attacks.enPolymorphic attackIDSFeature analysisDDoS/DoSFeature extraction toolMaster's Project
