In this paper, low-rate TCP attack as one of shrew attacks is considered and the scaling based dynamic time warping (S-DTW) algorithm is introduced. The low-rate TCP attack can not be detected by the detection method for the previous flooding DoS/DDoS (Denial of Service/Distirbuted Denial of Service) attacks due to its low average traffic rate. It, however, is a periodic short burst that exploits the homogeneity of the minimum retransmission timeout (RTO) of TCP flows and then some pattern matching mechanisms have been proposed to detect it among legitimate input flows. A DTW mechanism as one of detection approaches has proposed to detect attack input stream consisting of many legitimate or attack flows, and shown a depending method as well. This approach, however, has a problem that legitimate input stream may be caught as an attack one. In addition, it is difficult to decide a threshold for separation between the legitimate and the malicious. Thus, the causes of this problem are analyzed through simulation and the scaling by maximum auto-correlation value is executed before computing the DTW. We also discuss the results on applying various scaling approaches and using standard deviation of input streams monitored.

인터넷과 같이 신뢰할 수 없는 네트워크를 통한 통신에서는 비밀성과 무결성 뿐만 아니라 원격의 사용자 인증이 시스템 보안에 있어서 중요한 요소이다. 패스워드 기반의사용자 인증 방법은 비용과 효율성 측면에서 갖는 장점 때문에 가장 널리 사용되는 사용자 인증 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 최근에 Lin［5］등이 제안한 패스워드 기반의 인증방법인 SE-OSPA 프로토콜을 분석하고, 그 결과 DoS 공격에 취약함을 보인다. 또한 DoS 공격에 대응할 수 있는 개선된 스킴을 제안한다.

A DoS(Denial of Service) attack appears in the form of the intrusion attempt and Syn Flooding attack is a typical example. The Syn Flooding attack takes advantage of the weak point of 3-way handshake between the end-points of TCP which is the connection-oriented transmission service and has the reliability This paper proposes a NIIP(Network based Intelligent Intrusion Prevention) model. This model captures and analyzes the packet informations for the detection of Syn Flooding attack. Using the result of analysis of decision module, the decision module, which utilizes FCM(Fuzzy Cognitive Maps), measures the degree of danger of the DoS and trains the response module to deal with attacks. This model is a network based intelligent intrusion prevention model that reduces or prevents the danger of Syn Flooding attack.

인터넷의 발전과 더불어 네트워크 상에서의 침입 시도가 갈수록 증가되고 다변화되고 있으며, 특히, 네트워크나 서버의 가용성을 위협하는 형태의 서비스 거부(DoS: Denial of Servie) 공격이 최근 급증하고 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 인터넷 서버의 정상적인 서비스 제공을 방해하는 형태의 분산 서비스 거부(DDoS: Distributed Denial of Service) 공격으로부터 서버를 보호하고 원활한 서비스를 제공하기 위한 Secure-NIC 시스템의 설계 및 구현에 대해서 설명한다. 이는 "CISGDP : CPU-Independent Service Guaranteed DDoS Protection" 이라는 설계 개념하에서, 각종 인터넷 서버에 장착되어 DDoS 공격 등의 네트워크 공격에 대하여 서버의 고유 서비스가 지속적으로 보장될 수 있도록 자체 보안 기능을 NIC(Network Interface Card) 형태로 제공한다.

In this paper, we present a security analysis of Lightweight RFID Mutual Authentication Protocols-LMAP[10], $M^2AP$[11], EMAP[12]. Based on simple logic operations, the protocols were designed to be suitable for lightweight environments such as RFID systems. In [8,9], it is shown that these protocols are vulnerable to do-synchronization attacks with a high probability. The authors also presented an active attack that partially reveals a tag's secret values including its ID. In this paper, we point out an error from [9] and show that their do-synchronization attack would always succeed. We also improve the active attack in [9] to show an adversary can compute a tag's ID as well as certain secret keys in a deterministic way. As for $M^2AP$ and EMAP, we show that eavesdropping $2{\sim}3$ consecutive sessions is sufficient to reveal a tag's essential secret values including its ID that allows for tracing, do-synchronization and/or subsequent impersonations.

This paper proposes HWbF(Hit and WLC based Firewall) design which consists of an PFS(Packet Filter Station) and APS(Application Proxy Station). PFS is designed to reduce bottleneck and to prevent the transmission delay of them by distributing packets with PLB(Packet Load Balancing) module, and APS is designed to manage a proxy cash server by using PCSLB(Proxy Cash Server Load Balancing) module and to detect a DoS attack with packet traffic quantity. Therefore, the proposed HWbF in this paper prevents packet transmission delay that was a drawback in an existing Firewall, diminishes bottleneck, and then increases the processing speed of the packet. Also, as HWbF reduce the 50% and 25% of the respective DoS attack error detection rate(TCP) about average value and the fixed critical value to 38% and 17%. with the proposed expression by manipulating the critical value according to the packet traffic quantity, it not only improve the detection of DoS attack traffic but also diminishes the overload of a proxy cash server.

The WDSS improves defensive capacity against web application layer DDoS attack by using web cache server and L7 switch which are added on the DDoS shelter system. When web DDoS attack occurs, security agents divert traffic from backbone network to sub-network of the WDSS and then DDoS protection device and L7 switch block abnormal packets. In the meantime, web cache server responds only to requests of normal clients and maintains stable web service. In this way, the WDSS can counteract the web DDoS attack which generates small traffic and depletes server-client session resource. Furthermore, the WDSS does not require IP tunneling because it is not necessary to retransfer the normal requests to original web server. In this paper, we validate operation of the WDSS and verify defensive capability against web application layer DDoS attacks. In order to do this, we built the WDSS on backbone network of an ISP. And we performed web DDoS tests by using a testing system that consists of zombie PCs. The tests were performed by three types and various amounts of web DDoS attacks. Test results suggest that the WDSS can detect small traffic of the web DDoS attacks which do not have repeat flow whereas the formal DDoS shelter system cannot.

최근들어 네트워크 트래픽 폭주 공격에 의한 피해 사례가 속출하고 있다. 지난해 7월, 전세계적으로 많은 피해를 일으켰던 코드레드(CodeRed)공격뿐만 아니라 지난 1월 전국의 인터넷망을 마비시켰던 1.25대란 역시 트래픽 폭주 공격으로 국가적인 차원에서 많은 손실을 일으켰던 대표적인 사례이다. 흔히 인터넷 대란이라고 일컬어지는 트래픽 폭주 공격 및 웹해킹은 갈수록 경제적인 손실 및 피해규모가 커지고 기법도 다양해지도 있어, 트래픽 유형 분석 및 대응에 관한 연구가 필요하다. 본 고는 이러한 트래픽 폭주 공격의 개념을 정의하고 유형별로 분석하고자 한다. 또한 소규모 망에서 기존의 네트워크 장비 및 서버를 이용하여 이 공격들을 대응할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고자 한다.

Many studies are DDoS in Internet network, but the study is the fact that is not enough in a voice network. Therefore, we designed the extended TRW algorithm that was a DDoS attack traffic detection algorithm for the voice network which used an IP data network to solve upper problems in this article and evaluated it. The algorithm that is proposed in this paper analyzes TRW algorithm to detect existing DDoS attack in Internet network and, design connection and end connection to apply to a voice network, define probability function to count this. For inspect the algorithm, Set a threshold and using NS-2 Simulator. We measured detection rate by an attack traffic type and detection time by attack speed. At the result of evaluation 4.3 seconds for detection when transmitted INVITE attack packets per 0.1 seconds and 89.6% performance because detected 13,453 packet with attack at 15,000 time when transmitted attack packet.

By mistaking normal packets for harmful traffic, it may not offer service according to the intention of attacker with harmful traffic, because it is not easy to classify network traffic for normal service and it for DUoS(Distributed DoS) attack like the Internet worm. And in the IPv6 environment these researches on harmful traffic are weak. In this dissertation, hosts in the IPv6 environment are attacked by NETWIB and their attack traffic is monitored, then the statistical information of the traffic is obtained from MIB(Management Information Base) objects used in the IPv6. By adapting the ESM(Exponential Smoothing Method) to this information, a normal traffic boundary, i.e., a threshold is determined. Input traffic over the threshold is thought of as attack traffic.
