  • In DRDoS(Distributed Reflective Denial of Service) attacks, the victim is bombarded by packets from legitimate reflector unlike DDoS(Distributed Denial of Service) attacks through zombie, which is more dangerous than DDoS attack because it is in stronger disguise. Therefore, the method of filtering packet method on router are useless. Moreover SCTP(Stream Control Transmission Protocol) multi-homing feature, such as with an improved transmission protocol allows detecting attacks is more difficult and the effect of the attack can be maximized. In this paper we propose a DRDoS detection mechanism based on DRDoS utilizing attention to the characteristics of stateful protocols. The proposed scheme is backed by stateful firewall, and detect DRDoS attacks through a rules table and perform a defense treatment against DRDoS attack. Rules table with a simple structure is possible to easily adapt for any kind of stateful protocol can used by DRDoS attack. The experimental result confirm that our proposed scheme well detect DRDoS attacks using SCTP, the next-generation transmission protocol which not known by victim, and reduce the attacking packets rapidly.

  • Traditional attack detection schemes based on packets or flows have very high computational complexity. And, network based anomaly detection schemes can reduce the complexity, but they have a limitation to figure out the pattern of the distributed global scale network attack. In this paper, we propose an efficient and fast method for detecting distributed global-scale network attack symptoms in high-speed backbone networks. The proposed method is implemented at the aggregate traffic level. So, our proposed scheme has much lower computational complexity, and is implemented in very high-speed backbone networks. In addition, the proposed method can detect attack patterns, such as attacks in which the target is a certain host or the backbone infrastructure itself, via collaboration of edge routers on the backbone network. The effectiveness of the proposed method are demonstrated via simulation.

  • Denial of Service (DoS) 공격은 현재 심각한 국가적 보안 문제로 떠오르고 있다. DoS 란, 많은양의 네트워크 트래픽을 발생시켜 속도를 매우 느리게 만들거나, 가용 자원을 고갈시켜 사용자에게 서비스를 정상적으로 제공하지 못하도록 만드는 공격이다. 그 중에서 Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS)는 네트워크에 분산된 컴퓨터들을 감염시켜 공격에 사용하기 때문에 더 위험하다. DDoS 종류 중 한가지인 Smurf Attack 은 ICMP ECHO 와 IP 브로드캐스트를 이용하여 많은 양의 트래픽을 발생시킨다. 본 논문에서는 Smurf Attack 에 쓰이는 ICMP ECHO REQUEST 패킷을 조각화시켜서 전송할 시, 피해자에게 전송되는 패킷의 숫자가 기존 방법보다 증가하고 피해자 컴퓨터의 IP 스택에서 발생하는 취약점을 도출하고 그로 인한 피해를 분석하였다. 끝으로 ICMP ECHO 패킷의 조각화를 방지하기 위한 방안을 제시하였다.

  • We present a testbed for collecting log information and evaluating network security under various attacks. This testbed is modeled on real Internet, where attack traffic coexists with normal traffic. Attacks can be produced either by attack tools directly or by data sets including attack traffic. It costs less time and money than existing ones which are both costly and often time consuming in constructing. Also, it can be easily revised or extended according to the traffic types or the uses. Therefore, using our testbed can make various tests more efficient and facilitate collecting log information of sensors with attacks. We discuss how to use our testbed through replay procedures of DDoS attack and worm. We also discuss how we surmount some difficulty in constructing the testbed.

  • The latest attack type against network traffic appeared by worm and bot that are advanced in DDoS. It is difficult to detect them because they are diversified, intelligent, concealed and automated. The exisiting traffic analysis method using SNMP has a vulnerable problem; it considers normal P2P and other application program to be harmful traffic. It also has limitation that does not analyze advanced programs such as worm and bot to harmful traffic. Therefore, we analyzed harmful traffic out Protocol and Port analysis. We also classified traffic by protocol, well-known port, P2P port, existing attack port, and specification port, apply singularity weight to detect, and analyze attack availability. As a result of simulation, it is proved that it can effectively detect P2P application, worm, bot, and DDoS attack.

  • In this thesis, we will break away from the classic DDoS response system for large-scale denial-of-service attacks that develop day by day, and effectively endure intelligent denial-of-service attacks by utilizing artificial intelligence-based technology, one of the core technologies of the 4th revolution. A possible service model development plan was proposed. That is, a method to detect denial of service attacks and minimize damage through machine learning artificial intelligence learning targeting a large amount of data collected from multiple security devices and web servers was proposed. In particular, the development of a model for using artificial intelligence technology is to detect a Western service attack by focusing on the fact that when a service denial attack occurs while repeating a certain traffic change and transmitting data in a stable flow, a different pattern of data flow is shown. Artificial intelligence technology was used. When a denial of service attack occurs, a deviation between the probability-based actual traffic and the predicted value occurs, so it is possible to respond by judging as aggressiveness data. In this paper, a service denial attack detection model was explained by analyzing data based on logs generated from security equipment or servers.

  • Software Defined Network (SDN) is a new technology in computer network area which enables user to centralize control plane. The security issue is important in computer network to protect system from attackers. SYN flooding attack is one of Distributed Denial of Service attack methods which are popular to degrade availability of targeted service on Internet. There are many methods to protect system from attackers, i.e. firewall and IDS. Even though firewall is designed to protect network system, but it cannot mitigate DDoS attack well because it is not designed to do so. To improve performance of DDOS mitigation we utilize another mechanism by using SDN technology such as OpenFlow and sFlow. The methodology of sFlow to detect attacker is by capturing and sum cumulative traffic from each agent to send to sFlow collector to analyze. When sFlow collector detect some traffics as attacker, OpenFlow controller will modify the rule in OpenFlow table to mitigate attacks by blocking attack traffic. Hence, by combining sum cumulative traffic use sFlow and blocking traffic use OpenFlow we can detect and mitigate SYN flooding attack quickly and cheaply.

  • Over the past years, Link Flooding Attacks (LFAs) have been introduced as new network threats. LFAs are indirect DDoS attacks that selectively flood intermediate core links, while legacy DDoS attacks directly targets end points. Flooding bandwidth in the core links results in that a wide target area is affected by the attack. In the traditional network, mitigating LFAs is a challenge since an attacker can easily construct a link map that contains entire network topology via traceroute. Security researchers have proposed many solutions, however, they focused on reactive countermeasures that respond to LFAs when attacks occurred. We argue that this reactive approach is limited in that core links are already exposed to an attacker. In this paper, we present SDHoneyNet that prelocates vulnerable links by computing static and dynamic property on Software-defined Networks (SDN). SDHoneyNet deploys Honey Topology, which is obfuscated topology, on the nearby links. Using this approach, core links can be hidden from attacker's sight, which leads to effectively building proactive method for mitigating LFAs.

  • Nowadays, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have gained increasing popularity and have been a major factor in a number of massive cyber-attacks. It could easily exhaust the computing and communicating resources of a victim within a short period of time. Therefore, we have to find the method to detect and prevent the DDoS attack. Recently, there have been some researches that provide the methods to resolve above problem, but it still gets some limitations such as low performance of detecting and preventing, scope of method, most of them just use on cloud server instead of network, and the reliability in the network. In this paper, we propose solutions for (1) handling multiple DDoS attacks from multiple IP address and (2) handling the suspicious attacks in the network. For the first solution, we assume that there are multiple attacks from many sources at a times, it should be handled to avoid the conflict when we setup the preventing rule to switches. In the other, there are many attacks traffic with the low volume and same destination address. Although the traffic at each node is not much, the traffic at the destination is much more. So it is hard to detect that suspicious traffic with the sampling based method at each node, our method reroute the traffic to another server and make the analysis to check it deeply.

  • An advanced and proactive response mechanism against diverse attacks on All-IP network should be proposed for enhance its security and reliability on open network. There are two main research works related to this study. First one is the SPIE system with hash function on Bloom filter and second one is the Sinkhole routing mechanism using BGP protocol for verifying its transmission path. In this study, we proposed an advanced IP Tracing mechanism based on Bloom filter and Sinkhole routing mechanism. Proposed mechanism has a Manager module for controlling the regional router with using packet monitoring and filtering mechanism to trace and find the attack packet's real transmission path. Additionally, proposed mechanism provides advanced packet aggregation and monitoring/control module based on existing Sinkhole routing method. Therefore, we can provide an optimized one in All-IP network by combining the strength on existing two mechanisms. And the Tracing performance also can be enhanced compared with previously suggested mechanism.
