Recently, DDoS amplification attacks using servers that provide Microsoft Active Directory information using CLDAP protocol are increasing. Because CLDAP is an open standard application that allows a wide range of directory information to be accessed and maintained in a network, the server is characterized by its openness to the Internet. This can be exploited by the Reflector server to perform an amplification attack by an attacker. In addition, this attack can be attacked with a packet that is amplified 70 times more than the conventional UDP-based flooding attack, and it can block service to small and medium sized server. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an algorithm that can reduce the DDoS amplification attack using CLDAP server and implement the corresponding CLDAP server environment virtually, and implement and demonstrate the corresponding algorithm. This provides a way to ensure the availability of the server.

Car smart key system is a technology that allows you to turn activate / deactivate the auto lock through the contact form of electronic keys on the remote control and turn on the ignition by pressing the button. Smart key system is regarded as one of the essential options of the car as it is increasingly convenient to user, but there is no response yet for an attack to this situation. Therefore, in this paper, through an analysis of the amplification attack of a smart key we propose a way to stop the amplification attack and stop the car seized in case the car door opened due to the amplification attack.

DNS amplification is a new type of DDoS Attack and nowadays the attack occurs frequently. The previous studies showed the several detection ways such as the traffic analysis based on DNS queries and packet size. However, those methods have some limitations such as the uncertainty of packet size which depends on IP address type and vulnerabilities against distributed amplification attack. Therefore, we proposed a novel traffic analyzing algorithm using Success Rate and implemented the query analyzing system.

With the development of information and communication technology, DDoS and DRDoS continue to become security issues, and gradually develop into advanced techniques. Recently, IT companies have been threatened with DRDoS technology, which uses protocols from normal servers to exploit as reflective servers. Reflective traffic is traffic from normal servers, making it difficult to distinguish from security equipment and amplified to a maximum of Tbps in real-life cases. In this paper, after comparing and analyzing the DNS amplification and Memcached amplification used in DRDoS attacks, a countermeasure that can reduce the effectiveness of the attack is proposed. Protocols used as reflective traffic include TCP and UDP, and NTP, DNS, and Memcached. Comparing and analyzing DNS protocols and Memcached protocols with higher response sizes of reflective traffic among the protocols used as reflective traffic, Memcached protocols amplify ±21% more than DNS protocols. The countermeasure can reduce the effectiveness of an attack by using the Memcached Protocol's memory initialization command. In future studies, various security-prone servers can be shared over security networks to predict the fundamental blocking effect.

DDoS attacks have been used for paralyzing popular Internet services. Especially, amplification attacks have grown dramatically in recent years. Defending against amplification attacks is challenging since the attacks usually generate extremely hugh amount of traffic and attack traffic is coming from legitimate servers, which is hard to differentiate from normal traffic. Moreover, some of protocols used by amplification attacks are widely adopted in IoT devices so that the number of servers susceptible to amplification attacks will continue to increase. This paper studies on the analysis of amplification attack mechanisms in detail and proposes defense methodologies for scenarios where attackers, abused servers or victims are in a monitoring network.

DDoS attack has been continuously utilized that caused the excessively large amount of traffic that network bandwidth or server was unable to deal with paralyzing the service. Most of the people regard NTP as the biggest cause of DDoS. However, according to recently executed DDoS attack, there have been many SSDP attack in the use of amplified technique. According to characteristics of SSDP, there is no connection for making a forgery of source IP address and amplified resources feasible. Therefore, it is frequently used for attack. Especially, as it is mostly used as a protocol for causing DDoS attack on IoT devices that constitute smart home including a wireless router, media server, webcam, smart TV, and network printer. Hereupon, it is anticipated for servers of attacks to gradually increase. This might cause a serious threat to major information of human lives, major government bodies, and company system as well as on IoT devices. This study is intended to identify DDoS attack techniques in the use of weakness of SSDP protocol occurring in IoT devices and attacking scenario and counter-measures on them.

DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) exhausts the target server's resources using the large number of zombie pc, As a result normal users don't access to server. DDoS Attacks steadly increase by many attacker, and almost target of the attack is critical system such as IT Service Provider, Government Agency, Financial Institution. In this paper, We will introduce the CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) of deep learning based real-time detection system for DNS amplification Attack (DNS DDoS Attack). We use the dataset which is mixed with collected data in the real environment in order to overcome existing research limits that use only the data collected in the experiment environment. Also, we build a deep learning model based on Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) that is used in pattern recognition.

Recently, the DDoS attack using the amplifier method makes it difficult to distinguish the normal traffic from the normal server and it is difficult to detect even the attack detection. Since the SSDP protocol is a common protocol widely used in IoT devices, it is used as a DDoS amplification attack. In this paper, we analyze the reflector attack of SSDP which is one of the DDoS and suggest a technical proposal to detect and defend against the attack by managing the Mac address of each device. Also, we propose a control structure to protect the reflection attack of SSDP in Home IoT. The efficiency of the proposed system has been verified by performing an experimental attack on the virtual environment.

Since 2015, attacks using the IoT protocol have been continuously reported. Among various IoT protocols, attackers attempt DDoS attacks using SSDP(Simple Service Discovery Protocol), and as statistics of cyber shelters, Korea has about 1 million open SSDP servers. Vulnerable SSDP servers connected to the Internet can generate more than 50Gb of traffic and the risk of attack increases gradually. Until recently, distributed denial of service attacks and distributed reflective denial of service attacks have been a security issue. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to analyze the request packet of the existing SSDP protocol to identify an amplification attack and to avoid a response when an amplification attack is suspected, thereby preventing network load due to the occurrence of a large number of response packets due to the role of traffic reflection amplification.

최근에는 랜섬웨어의 일종인 '워너크라이' 등의 바이러스로 인한 피해도 기하급수적으로 증가하고, 그 수법도 사용자가 파일에 접근하면 감염되던 형태에서 인터넷에 접속되기만 하면 감염되는 형태로 진화하면서 사이버전에 사용되어질 수 있는 사이버 공격에 대응하는 방어 및 회복 방책에 대한 관심이 한층 더 증폭되고 있다. 하지만 일반적으로 방어, 회복 등의 대응 과정은 공격의 피해를 평가하여 결과로 산출된 피해 정도를 전제 조건으로 가지기 때문에 먼저 해킹 공격의 피해를 평가하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 사이버전에서 사용되어질 수 있는 해킹 공격 및 위협의 피해를 공격의 종류별로 평가하기 위해, 피해 정도를 수치화할 수 있는지의 여부 등을 기준으로 하여 총 3가지 Interruption, Modification, Interception로 구성된 해킹 공격의 분류 체계를 제시한다.
