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.

Since the DoS(Denial of Service) attack is still an important vulnerable element in many web service sites, sites including public institution should try their best in constructing defensive systems. Recently, DDoS(Distributed Denial of Service) has been raised by prompting mass network traffic that uses NTP's monlist function or DoS attack has been made related to the DNS infrastructure which is impossible for direct defense. For instance, in June 2013, there has been an outbreak of an infringement accident where Computing and Information Agency was the target. There was a DNS application DoS attack which made the public institution's Information System impossible to run its normal services. Like this, since there is a high possibility in having an extensive damage due to the characteristics of DDoS in attacking unspecific information service and not being limited to a particular information system, efforts have to be made in order to minimize cyber threats. This thesis proposes a method for using TTL (Time To Live) value in IP header to detect DDoS attack with IP spoofing, which occurs when data is transmitted under the agreed regulation between the international and domestic information system.

VoIP(Voice over Internet Protocol) 서비스는 기존의 음성전화 서비스(Public Switched Telephone Network, PSTN)와 달리 IP 프로토콜을 이용한 저렴한 통신비용 등의 장점이 있는 음성통신 기술로써, 기존의 아날로그 음성전화 서비스를 대신하는 서비스이며, 새로운 인터넷 융합서비스로 많은 사용자가 이용하고 있다. 하지만 VoIP 서비스가 인터넷망을 이용함으로 IP Spoofing, DoS (Denial of Server) / DDoS(Distributed Denial of Service), 등의 여러 가지 보안의 문제점을 가지고 있다. VoIP 서비스에서 DDoS 공격은 Proxy 서버 등에 대량의 공격 메시지를 보냄으로써 서버의 자원을 고갈시켜 정상적인 서비스를 하지 못하게 한다. DoS, DDoS 공격 중 Invite Flooding 공격은 1분에 수천 개의 Invite 메시지를 보내 회선의 자원을 고갈시키는 공격이다. 특히 IP/Port 위조하여 공격 경우 공격 패킷 탐지하기 어려우므로 차단할 수 없다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 VoIP의 DoS/DDoS 중 하나인 Invite Flooding 공격 시 SIP Proxy Server에서 메시지 분산시키는 방법과 MAC Address와 사용자 번호 등 IP 이외의 고정적인 사용자 정보를 확인하여 공격을 탐지하고, 공격 Agent에 감염된 Phone을 공격차단서비스로 보내 복구시키는 방법을 제안한다.

Analyzed about a matter and requirements to intimidate security of ubiquitous and home network threatening various security for personal information protection in ubiquitous home networks at these papers, and studied. Got authentication procedures and verification procedures acid user approach to be reasonable through designs to the home security gateway which strengthened a security function in the outsides, and strengthened protection of a home network. Also, execute a DoS, DDoS, IP Spoofing attack protective at home network security gateways proved, and security regarding an external denial of service attack was performed, and confirmed. Strengthen appliances and security regarding a user, and confirm a defense regarding an external attack like DoS, DDoS, IP Spoofing, and present a home network security model of this paper to the plans that can strengthen personal information protection in ubiquitous home networks in ubiquitous home networks through experiment.

지난 몇 년간 DDoS 공격의 기법들은 더욱 복잡해지고 효과적으로 변하였으며, 공격자를 추적하기는 더욱 힘들어지고 있다. 이러한 문제들에 대응하기 위해 다양한 패킷 필터링 기법과 공격자 추적 기법등 많은 연구들이 진행되어 왔다. 하지만 이러한 노력에도 불구하고 DDoS 공격은 여전히 인터넷의 안정성을 위협하는 요소로 작용하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 위협에 대응하기 위하여 Active Edge 라우터 기반의 분산 서비스 거부공격대응 기법을 제안하고자 한다. 제안된 방법의 경우 기존의 중간 라우터(intermediate-router)의 오버헤더, 공격경로 재구성에 필요한 오버헤더, 재구성된 공격경로의 부정확성과 같은 기존의 기법들이 지니고 있던 단점들을 보완하고 있다. 또한 제안된 방법의 경우 공격 패킷을 공격대상 네트워크가 아닌 공격자가 위치하고 있는 네트워크에서 제거함으로서 공격패킷의 필터링 효과를 더욱 향상 시켰다.

DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) has been a continuous threat to the cyber world with the growth in cyber technology. This technical evolution has given rise to a number of ultra-sophisticated ways for the attackers to perform their DDoS attack. In general, the attackers who generate the denial of service, use the vulnerabilities of the TCP. Some of the vulnerabilities like SYN (synchronization) flooding, and IP spoofing are used by the attacker to create these Distributed Reflected Denial of Service (DrDoS) attacks. An attacker, with the assistance of IP spoofing creates a number of attack packets, which reflects the flooded packets to an attacker's intended victim system, known as the primary target. The proposed scheme, Efficient Spoofed Flooding Defense (ESFD) provides two level checks which, consist of probing and non-repudiation, before allocating a service to the clients. The probing is used to determine the availability of the requested client. Non-repudiation is taken care of by the timestamp enabled in the packet, which is our major contribution. The real time experimental results showed the efficiency of our proposed ESFD scheme, by increasing the performance of the CPU up to 40%, the memory up to 52% and the network bandwidth up to 67%. This proves the fact that the proposed ESFD scheme is fast and efficient, negating the impact on the network, victim and primary target.

It has become more difficult to correspond an cyber attack quickly as patterns of attack become various and complex. However, current security mechanisms just have passive defense functionalities. In this paper, we propose new network security architecture to respond various cyber attacks rapidly and to chase and isolate the attackers through cooperation between security zones. The proposed architecture makes it possible to deal effectively with cyber attacks such as IP spoofing or DDoS(Distributed Denial of Service), by using active packet technology including a mobile code on active network. Also, it is designed to have more active correspondent than that of existing mechanisms. We implemented these mechanisms in Linux routers and experimented on a testbed to verify realization possibility of attacker response framework using mobile code. The experimentation results are analyzed.

Abusing the Simple Server Discovery Protocol (SSDP) can induce an SSDP attack (including SSDP DoS, DDoS, DRDoS) posing a significant threat to UPnP devices. Rapid and extensive developments in computer technology, especially in regards to IoT, have made Upnp devices an indispensable part of our daily lives - but also render them susceptible to a variety of SSDP attacks without suitable countermeasures. This paper proposes the Two-dimensional table scheme, which provides high security at a reasonable computational cost. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed scheme are also validated by comparison against four other schemes (Stateless connections, Failing-together, Cookie, and Client puzzle).

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology used to identify the physical objects and get information about the object on which the tag attaches from network. It is expected that RFID will lead IT market from human-oriented to object-oriented. Therefore, RFID technology and services will become wide-spread. But the system of RFID naming service is quite similar to the existing DNS facilities. So it has many weak points against to DDos attack. Furthermore if the MDS server Is under attack, there might be trouble of total RFID networks.In this paper, we propose a new detecting model to find attack traffic at local routers by using Management Information Base (MIB) which is optimized for RFID MDS server.

최근 웹 변조 공격은 대형 포탈, 은행, 학교 등 접속자가 많은 홈페이지에 악성 URL을 불법 삽입하여 해당 URL을 통해 접속자 PC에 자동으로 악성코드 유포하고 대규모 봇넷(botnet)을 형성한 후 DDoS 공격을 수행하거나 감염 PC들의 정보를 지속적으로 유출하는 형태로 수행된다. 이때, 홈페이지에 삽입되는 악성 URL은 탐지가 어렵도록 Javascript 난독화 기법(obfuscation technique) 등으로 은밀히 삽입된다. 본 논문에서는 웹 소스코드에 은닉된 악성 Javascript URL들에 대한 일괄 점검체계를 제안하며, 구현된 점검체계의 prototype을 활용하여 점검성능에 대한 시험결과를 제시한다.
