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.

As computers and networks become popular, corporation or country organization composes security network including various kinds information protection system to protect informations and resources from internet and is operating system and network. But current firewall and IDS(Intrusion Detection System) of the network level suffers from many vulnerabilities in internal computing informations and resources. In this paper, we design of ICMP-based Traceback System using a ICMP Traceback Message for efficiently traceback without change structure of routers. ICMP-based Traceback System. Create of ICMP message is managed by “Traceback Agent” mirroring port for router. Victim's systems that are received the message store it and “Traceback Manager” is detect a attack(like a DDoS). Using a information of this message starting a traceback and detecting a source of attacker, so response a attack.

최근 들어 스팸 메일, 키 로깅, DDoS와 같은 공격에 Botnet이 사용되고 있다. Botnet은 크래커에 의해 명령, 제어되는 Bot에 감염된 클라이언트로 이루어진 네트워크이다. 지금까지 유선망의 Botnet을 탐지하기 위한 많은 기법이 제안되었지만, 현재 많은 개발이 이루어지고 있는 6LoWPAN과 같은 무선 센서 네트워크상의 Botnet에 관한 연구와 그 대처방안은 전무한 상태이다. 본 논문에서는 6LoWPAN 환경에서 Botnet이 얼마나 위험할 수 있는지 살펴보고 이를 탐지하기 위한 메커니즘을 제안하고자 한다.

The rapid development of smartphone technologies have resulted in the evolution of mobile botnets. The implications of botnets have inspired attention from the academia and the industry alike, which includes vendors, investors, hackers, and researcher community. Above all, the capability of botnets is uncovered through a wide range of malicious activities, such as distributed denial of service (DDoS), theft of business information, remote access, online or click fraud, phishing, malware distribution, spam emails, and building mobile devices for the illegitimate exchange of information and materials. In this study, we investigate mobile botnet attacks by exploring attack vectors and subsequently present a well-defined thematic taxonomy. By identifying the significant parameters from the taxonomy, we compared the effects of existing mobile botnets on commercial platforms as well as open source mobile operating system platforms. The parameters for review include mobile botnet architecture, platform, target audience, vulnerabilities or loopholes, operational impact, and detection approaches. In relation to our findings, research challenges are then presented in this domain.

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.

Now the ways in which information is exchanged by computers are changing, a variety of this information exchange method also requires corresponding change of responding to an illegal attack. Among these illegal attacks, the IP spoofing attack refers to the attack whose process are accompanied by DDoS attack and resource exhaustion attack. The way to detect an IP spoofing attack is by using traceback information. The basic traceback information analysis method is implemented by comparing and analyzing the normal router information from client with routing information existing in routing path on the server. There fore, Such an attack detection method use all routing IP information on the path in a sequential comparison. It's difficulty to responding with rapidly changing attacks in time. In this paper, all IP addresses on the path to compute in a coordinate manner. Based on this, it was possible to analyze the traceback information to improve the number of traceback required for attack detection.

Network anomaly detection in Software Defined Networking, especially the detection of DDoS attack, has been given great attention in recent years. It is convenient to build the Traffic Matrix from a global view in SDN. However, the monitoring and management of high-volume feature-rich traffic in large networks brings significant challenges. In this paper, we propose a moving window Principal Components Analysis based anomaly detection and mitigation approach to map data onto a low-dimensional subspace and keep monitoring the network state in real-time. Once the anomaly is detected, the controller will install the defense flow table rules onto the corresponding data plane switches to mitigate the attack. Furthermore, we evaluate our approach with experiments. The Receiver Operating Characteristic curves show that our approach performs well in both detection probability and false alarm probability compared with the entropy-based approach. In addition, the mitigation effect is impressive that our approach can prevent most of the attacking traffic. At last, we evaluate the overhead of the system, including the detection delay and utilization of CPU, which is not excessive. Our anomaly detection approach is lightweight and effective.

Recently, network technology has been used in various fields due to development of network technology. However, there has been an increase in the number of attacks targeting public institutions and companies by exploiting the evolving network technology. Meanwhile, the existing network intrusion detection system takes much time to process logs as the amount of network log increases. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a Spark-based network log analysis system that detects unstructured network attack pattern. by using Snort. The proposed system extracts and analyzes the elements required for network attack pattern detection from large amount of network log data. For the analysis, we propose a rule to detect network attack patterns for Port Scanning, Host Scanning, DDoS, and worm activity, and can detect real attack pattern well by applying it to real log data. Finally, we show from our performance evaluation that the proposed Spark-based log analysis system is more than two times better on log data processing performance than the Hadoop-based system.

Malicious traffic, such as DDoS attack and botnet communications, refers to traffic that is generated for the purpose of disturbing internet networks or harming certain networks, servers, or hosts. As malicious traffic has been constantly evolving in terms of both quality and quantity, there have been many researches fighting against it. In this paper, we propose an effective malicious traffic detection method that exploits the X-means clustering algorithm. We also suggest how to analyze statistical characteristics of malicious traffic and to define metrics that are used when clustering. Finally, we verify effectiveness of our method by experiments with two released traffic data.

Recently, the cyber-attacks using botnets are being increased, Because these attacks pursue the money, the criminal aspect is also being increased, There are spreading of spam mail, DDoS(Distributed Denial of Service) attacks, propagations of malicious codes and malwares, phishings. leaks of sensitive informations as cyber-attacks that used botnets. There are many studies about detection and mitigation techniques against centralized botnets, namely IRC and HITP botnets. However, P2P botnets are still in an early stage of their studies. In this paper, we analyzed the traffics of the Peacomm bot that is one of P2P-based storm bot by using honeynet which is utilized in active analysis of network attacks. As a result, we could see that the Peacomm bot sends a large number of UDP packets to the zombies in wide network through P2P. Furthermore, we could know that the Peacomm bot makes the scale of botnet maintained and extended through these results. We expect that these results are used as a basis of detection and mitigation techniques against P2P botnets.
