Computer systems connected to the Internet are highly susceptible to hackers that can compromise the service availability through denial of service attacks, causing damage to customers and service providers. Our work focuses on using the attack injection methodology with some advanced monitoring capabilities to detect and identify local resource exhaustion vulnerabilities. It goes even further by providing valuable insight about the effort necessary for an attacker to exploit them and for the target system to be able to sustain the attacks.
