In recent years, damage caused by DoS attacks is real and causing substantive problems. Such threat is widespread from major commercial sites to individual users. Therefore, it is important for network administrators to develop means to comprehend the latest trend of DoS attacks. In this paper, we propose a distributed detecting method for SYN Flood attack which exploits a flow in TCP itself. Our proposed system employs mobile agents to detect SYN Flood attack. We also show the effectiveness of our proposal through experiment of detection of SYN Flood attack in virtual network of simulation environment.
