In this paper, we present a new form of DDOS attack and a mechanism to defend systems from it. Up to now the ultimate target of a DDOS attack is a specific host. But in the near future router attacks are expected to appear. Because these kinds of attacks may involve many hosts in the managed domain of a specific router, they will be still more serious than the current DDOS attacks. Also, we present an algorithm to defend against an attack on a router using survivability of the router. By using a survivability of a router, the router can control a quantity of traffic autonomously without an interruption of services even when a DDOS attack occurs.

Internet is deeply rooted in everyday life and many things are performed using internet in real-world, therefore internet users increased because of convenience. Also internet accident is on the increase rapidly. The security vendor developed security system to protect network and system from intruder. Many hackings can be prevented and detected by using these security solutions. However, the new hacking methods and tools that can detour or defeat these solutions have been emerging and even script kids using these methods and tools can easily hack the systems. In consequence, system has gone through various difficulties. So, Necessity of intruder trace-back technology is increased gradually. Trace-back technology is tracing back a malicious hacker to his real location. trace-back technology is largely divided into TCP connection trace-back and IP packet trace-back to trace spoofed IP of form denial-of-service attacks. TCP connection trace-back technology that autonomously traces back the real location of hacker who attacks system using stepping stone at real time. In this paper, We will describe watermark trace-back system using TCP hijacking technique to supplement difficult problem of connection maintenance happened at watermark insertion. Through proposed result, we may search attacker's real location which attempt attack through multiple connection by real time.

Application-layer Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack is one of the leading security problems in the Internet. In recent years, the attack strategies of application-layer DDoS have rapidly developed. This paper introduces a new attack strategy named Path Vulnerabilities-Based (PVB) attack. In this attack strategy, an attacker first analyzes the contents of web pages and subsequently measures the actual response time of each webpage to build a web-resource-weighted-directed graph. The attacker uses a Top M Longest Path algorithm to find M DDoS vulnerable paths that consume considerable resources when sequentially accessing the pages following any of those paths. A detection mechanism for such attack is also proposed and discussed. A finite-state machine is used to model the dynamical processes for the state of the user's session and monitor the PVB attacks. Numerical results based on real-traffic simulations reveal the efficiency of the attack strategy and the detection mechanism.

There is a well-defined propagation model, named the random constant spread (RCS) model, which explains worms that spread their clones with a random scanning strategy. This model uses the number of infected hosts in a domain as a factor in the worms' propagation. However, there are difficulties in explaining the characteristics of new Internet worms because they have several considerable new features: the denial of service by network saturation, the utilization of a faster scanning strategy, a smaller size in the worm's propagation packet, and to cause maximum damage before human-mediated responses are possible. Therefore, more effective factors are required instead of the number of infected hosts. In this paper, the network bandwidth usage rate is found to be an effective factor that explains the propagations of the new Internet worms with the random scanning strategy. The analysis and simulation results are presented using this factor. The simulation results show that the scan rate is more sensitive than the propagation packet for detecting worms' propagations.

The need for network security is being increasing due to the development of information communication and internet technology. In this paper, firewall models, operating system models and other network component models are constructed. Each model is defined by basic or compound model, referencing DEVS formalism. These models and the simulation environment are implemented with MODSIM III, a general purpose, modular, block-structured high-level programming language which provides direct support for object-oriented programming and discrete-event simulation. In this simulation environment with representative attacks, the following three attacks are generated, SYN flooding and Smurf attack as an attack type of denial of service, Mail bomb attack as an attack type of e-mail. The simulation is performed with the models that exploited various security policies against these attacks. The results of this study show that the modeling method of packet filtering system, proxy system, unix and windows NT operating system. In addition, the results of the simulation show that the analysis of security performance according to various security policies, and the analysis of correlation between availability and confidentiality according to security empowerment.

The increasing complexity of integrated circuits and IP-based hardware designs have created the risk of hardware Trojans. This paper introduces a new type of threat, the coherence-exploiting hardware Trojan. This Trojan can be maliciously implanted in master components in a system, and continuously injects memory read transactions on to bus or main interconnect. The injected traffic forces the eviction of cache lines, taking advantage of cache coherence protocols. This type of Trojans insidiously slows down the system performance, incurring Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack. We used Xilinx Zynq-7000 device to implement and evaluate the coherence-exploiting Trojan. The malicious traffic was injected through the AXI ACP interface in Zynq-7000. Then, we collected the L2 cache eviction statistics with performance counters. The experiment results reveal the severe threats of the Trojan to the system performance.

This paper presents the analytic model of Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks in two settings: the normal Web server without any attack and the Web server with DDoS attacks. In these settings, we measure TCP flag rate, which is expressed in terms of the ratio of the number of TCP flags, i.e., SYN, ACK, RST, etc., packets over the total number of TCP packets, and Protocol rate, which is defined by the ratio of the number of TCP (UDP or ICMP) packets over the total number of W packets. The experimental results show a distinctive and predictive pattern of DDoS attacks. We wish our approach can be used to detect and prevent DDoS attacks.

Different from traditional auctions, electronic auctions provide a platform to allow bidders and auctioneers merchandise to each other over network anytime and anywhere. Auctioneers can publish information of goods, and bidders can choose the interested targets through this bidding platform. To ensure the fairness and security of electronic auctions, Li et al. have proposed a practical electronic auction scheme which can confirm the requirement of strong anonymity, bidding privacy, and secret bidding price. However, we have found out that Li et al.'s scheme may lurk the risk of the denial-of-service attack during the bidding phase in a sealed-bid auction. Thus, we propose a brand-new sealed-bid auction mechanism, in which the essentials of e-auction can be firmly preserved. In particular, each bidder only needs to register at the center once and then can join to multiple plays launched by different auctioneers. Moreover, the correctness of mutual authentication is confirmed according to the BAN logic model.

The smart factory has spread to small and mid-size enterprises (SMEs) under the leadership of the government. Smart factory consists of a work area, an operation management area, and an industrial control system (ICS) area. However, each site is combined with the IT system for reasons such as the convenience of work. As a result, various breaches could occur due to the weakness of the IT system. This study seeks to discover the items and vulnerabilities that SMEs who have difficulties in information security due to technology limitations, human resources, and budget should first diagnose and check. First, to compare the existing domestic and foreign smart factory vulnerability classification systems and improve the current classification system, the latest smart factory vulnerability information is collected from NVD, CISA, and OWASP. Then, significant keywords are extracted from pre-processing, co-occurrence network analysis is performed, and the relationship between each keyword and vulnerability is discovered. Finally, the improvement points of the classification system are derived by mapping it to the existing classification system. Therefore, configuration and maintenance, communication and network, and software development were the items to be diagnosed and checked first, and vulnerabilities were denial of service (DoS), lack of integrity checking for communications, inadequate authentication, privileges, and access control in software in descending order of importance.
