As modem web services become enormously complex, web attacks has become frequent and serious. Existing security solutions such as firewalls or signature-based intrusion detection systems are generally inadequate in securing web services, and analysis of raw web log data is simply impractical for most organizations. Visual display of "interpreted" web logs, with emphasis on anomalous web requests, is essential for an organization to efficiently track web usage patterns and detect possible web attacks. In this paper, we discuss various issues related to effective real-time visualization of web usage patterns and anomalies. We implemented a software tool named SAD (session anomaly detection) Viewer to satisfy such need and conducted an empirical study in which anomalous web traffics such as Misuse attacks, DoS attacks, Code-Red worms and Whisker scans were injected. Our study confirms that SAD Viewer is useful in assisting web security engineers to monitor web usage patterns in general and anomalous web sessions in particular.articular.

Software Defined Networking creates totally new concept of networking and its applications which is based on separating the application and control layer from the networking infrastructure as a result it yields new opportunities in improving the network security and making it more automated in robust way, one of these applications is Denial of Service attack mitigation but due to the dynamic nature of Denial of Service attack it would require dynamic response which can mitigate the attack with the minimum false positive. In this paper we will propose a new mitigation Framework for DDoS attacks using Software Defined Networking technology to protect online services e.g. websites, DNS and email services against DoS and DDoS attacks.

This paper proposes an authentication protocol using the key server in the ECPglobai RFID system. The proposed authentication protocol uses the key server and the time-out mechanism to resist various attacks including DoS(Denial of Service) attack. For easy implementation, the proposed protocol also uses the function existing in EPCglobal class 1 gen2 protocol without additive function such as hash function. The proposed protocol is evaluated through two analytical methods. The correctness of the proposed protocol is proved using the GNY analysis. By the security analysis, this paper showed that the proposed protocol is resistant to various attacks including DoS attack. The analytical results demonstrated that the proposed protocol offered a secure RFID system.

With the spread of the Internet around the world, devices connected to the Internet are gradually increasing. In addition, the number of distributed reflection service attacks (DrDoS), an attack that maliciously requests large responses by deceiving IPs as if the attacker was a victim, using vulnerabilities in application protocols such as DNS, NTP, and CLDAP, is increasing rapidly. It is believed that the security threat of distributed reflection service attacks will not disappear unless ISPs establish appropriate countermeasures to IP Spoofing. Therefore, this paper describes the security threat and response status of distributed reflection service attacks based on IP Spoofing.

Recently, Li and Hwang scheme proposed a biometrics-based remote user authentication scheme using smart card. It is asserted that this scheme has very excellent benefits by the operation cost efficiency based on the smart card, one-way function and biometrics using random numbers. But this scheme cannot provide the properly authentication, especially, it is analyzed as the vulnerable security scheme for Denial-of-Service(DoS) attacks by impersonate attacks. The attacker controls the insecure channel, they can easily fabricate messages to pass the user's or server's authentication, and the malicious attacker can impersonate the user to cheat the server and can impersonate the server to cheat the user without knowing any secret information. This paper proposes the strong improved scheme which can respond to multiple attacks by supplementing the function of integrity check from the server which applied variable authenticator and OSPA without exposing the user's password information. It is supplemented pregnable of disguise attack and mutual authentication of Li and Hwang scheme.

Recently, as network flooding attacks such as DoS/DDoS and Internet Worm have posed devastating threats to network services, rapid detection and proper response mechanisms are the major concern for secure and reliable network services. However, most of the current Intrusion Detection Systems(IDSs) focus on detail analysis of packet data, which results in late detection and a high system burden to cope with high-speed network environment. In this paper we propose a lightweight and fast detection mechanism for traffic flooding attacks. Firstly, we use SNMP MIB statistical data gathered from SNMP agents, instead of raw packet data from network links. Secondly, we use a machine learning approach based on a Support Vector Machine(SVM) for attack classification. Using MIB and SVM, we achieved fast detection with high accuracy, the minimization of the system burden, and extendibility for system deployment. The proposed mechanism is constructed in a hierarchical structure, which first distinguishes attack traffic from normal traffic and then determines the type of attacks in detail. Using MIB data sets collected from real experiments involving a DDoS attack, we validate the possibility of our approaches. It is shown that network attacks are detected with high efficiency, and classified with low false alarms.

System(IDS) hasn't Protection capability for various security attacks perfectly. Because, It is probably affected by IDS's workload caused by treating all kind of the characteristics and attack patterns of system and can't probe all of the attack types being intelligently different with attack patterns. In this paper, we propose a new taxonomy criteria about DoS(denial of service attacks) to make more efficient and new real time probing system. It's started with an idea that most of the goal oriented systems make the state of system operation more unambiguous than general purpose system. A new event caused the state of the system operation to change and classifying a category of the new events may contribute to design the IDS.

In this paper, a Hybrid Scaling based DTW (HS-DTW) mechanism is proposed for detection of periodic shrew TCP attacks. A low-rate TCP attack which is a type of shrew DoS (Denial of Service) attacks, was reported recently, but it is difficult to detect the attack using previous flooding DoS detection mechanisms. A pattern matching method with DTW (Dynamic Time Warping) as a type of defense mechanisms was shown to be reasonable method of detecting and defending against a periodic low-rate TCP attack in an input traffic link. This method, however, has the problem that a legitimate link may be misidentified as an attack link, if the threshold of the DTW value is not reasonable. In order to effectively discriminate between attack traffic and legitimate traffic, the difference between their DTW values should be large as possible. To increase the difference, we analyze a critical problem with a previous algorithm and introduce a scaling method that increases the difference between DTW values. Four kinds of scaling methods are considered and the standard deviation of the sampling data is adopted. We can select an appropriate scaling scheme according to the standard deviation of an input signal. This is why the HS-DTW increases the difference between DTW values of legitimate and attack traffic. The result is that the determination of the threshold value for discrimination is easier and the probability of mistaking legitimate traffic for an attack is dramatically reduced.

DoS Attack (Denial-of-Service Attack)이란 공격자가 침입대상 시스템의 시스템 자원과 네트워크 자원을 악의적인 목적으로 소모시키기 위하여 대량의 패킷을 보냄으로써 정상 사용자로 하여금 시스템이 제공하는 서비스를 이용하지 못하도록 하는 공격을 의미한다. 현재 이러한 대부분의 DoS 공격은 인터넷 프로토콜 중 TCP 프로토콜을 주로 이용하고 있다. 이에 호스트의 연결요청이 발생하였을 경우 TCP 프로토콜을 기준으로 서버의 트래픽 변화율을 확인함으로써 DoS 공격을 분석하는 것이다. 서버의 트래픽 변화율은 호스트가 요청한 연결의 발생빈도에 따라 변화하는 서버의 연결요청 처리 시간 변화율을 확인하는 방법으로 확인할 수 있다. 이와 같은 방법으로 확인된 서버의 트래픽 변화율은 일정 시간동안의 변화율 증강을 모니터링 함으로써 DoS 공격에 참여하는 호스트가 요청하는 연결의 발생빈도를 간접적으로 확인하는데 이용할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 호스트의 연결요청과 서버의 트래픽 변화율간 관계를 이용하여 DoS 공격의 특성을 분석하고자 한다.

Since SIP uses a text-based message format and is open to the public Internet, it provides a number of potential opportunities for Denial of Service (DoS) attacks in a similar manner to most Internet applications. In this paper, we propose an effective detection method for SIP flooding attacks in order to deal with the problems of conventional schemes. We derive the upper bound of the possible number of SIP messages, considering not only the network congestion status but also the different properties of individual SIP messages such as INVITE, BYE and CANCEL. The proposed method can be easily extended to detect flooding attacks by other SIP messages.
