Dataset of A Comprehensive Evaluation on the Resilience of QUIC Protocol Against Handshake Flooding Attacks

This dataset contains results and scripts from experiments evaluating the resilience of the QUIC protocol against handshake flooding attacks. It aims to support researchers and developers in analyzing handshake flooding attacks against the QUIC protocol, contributing to developing more robust mitigation strategies. The experiments utilize three prominent QUIC implementations: aioquic, quic-go, and picoquic, providing a comprehensive comparison of their resilience. Additionally, to benchmark the performance and resilience of QUIC, SYN flood attacks were conducted against TCP with SYN cookies. This dataset enables a deeper understanding of QUIC’s behaviour under stress conditions and offers valuable insights for researchers working on QUIC security and performance optimization.
