  • Mobile ad hoc networks are expected to be widely used in the near future. However, they are susceptible to various security threats because of their inherent characteristics. Malicious flooding attacks are one of the fatal attacks on mobile ad hoc networks. These attacks can severely clog an entire network, as a result of clogging the victim node. If collaborative multiple attacks are conducted, it becomes more difficult to prevent. To defend against these attacks, we propose a novel defense mechanism in mobile ad hoc networks. The proposed scheme enhances the amount of legitimate packet processing at each node. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme also improves the end-to-end packet delivery ratio.

  • Malicious botnet has been used for more malicious activities, such as DDoS attacks, sending spam messages, steal personal information, etc. To prevent this, many studies have been preceded. But malicious botnets have evolved and evaded detection systems. In particular, HTTP GET Request attack that exploits the vulnerability of the application layer is used. ALAB of ALADDIN proposed by ETRI is DDoS attack detection system that HTTP GET, Incomplete GET request flooding attack detection algorithm is applied. In this paper, we extend Incomplete GET detection algorithm of ALAB and derive the optimal configuration parameters to verify the validity of the algorithm ALAB by the study of the normal and attack packets.

  • VoIP service is the transmission of voice data using SIP protocol on an IP-based network. The SIP protocol has many advantages, such as providing IP-based voice communication and multimedia service with low communication cost. Therefore, the SIP protocol disseminated quickly. However, SIP protocol exposes new forms of vulnerabilities to malicious attacks, such as message flooding attack. It also incurs threats from many existing vulnerabilities as occurs for IP-based protocol. In this paper, we propose a new virtual proxy to cooperate with the existing Proxy Server to provide state monitoring and detect SIP message flooding attack with IP/MAC authentication. Based on a proposed virtual proxy, the proposed system enhances SIP attack detection performance with minimal latency of SIP packet transmission.

  • In today's cyberworld, network performance is affected not only by an increased demand for legitimate content request, but also by an increase in malicious activity. In this Paper, we research that network performance was affected by an increase in malicious Hacker who make DoS Attack, DDoS Attack, SYN Flooding, IP Spoofing, etc. in using TCP/IP. We suggest that Packet filtering in Network Level, Gateway Level, Application Level against to Protect by Hacker's attack. Also, we suggest that content distribution in Web Server approaches to mitigate Hacker's activity using Cache Sever, Mirror Sever, CDN. These suggests are going to use useful Protection methode of Hacker's attack.

  • As more critical services are provided in the internet, the risk to these services from malicious users increases. Several networks have experienced problems like Denial of Service(DoS) attacks recently. We analyse a network-based denial of service attack, which is called SYM flooding, to TCP-based networks. It occurs by an attacker who sends TCP connection requests with spoofed source address to a target system. Each request causes the targeted system to send instantly data packets out of a limited pool of resources. Then the target system's resources are exhausted and incoming TCP port connections can not be established. The paper is concerned with a detailed analysis of TCP SYN flooding denial of service attack. In this paper, we propose a Real Time Scan Detector(RTSD) mechanism and evaluate it\`s Performance.

  • MANET has been applied to a wide variety of areas because it has advantages which can build a network quickly in a difficult situation to build a network. However, it is become a victim of malicious nodes because of characteristics such as mobility of nodes consisting MANET, limited resources, and the wireless network. Therefore, it is required to lightweight attack detection technique which can accurately detect attack without causing a large burden to the mobile node. In this paper, we propose a multistage attack detection techniques that attack detection takes place in routing phase and data transfer phase in order to increase the accuracy of attack detection. The proposed attack detection technique is composed of four modules at each stage in order to perform accurate attack detection. Flooding attack and packet discard or modify attacks is detected in the routing phase, and whether the attack by modification of data is detected in the data transfer phase. We assume that nodes have a public key and a private key in pairs in this paper.

  • The vulnerability issue on IEEE 802.1x wireless LAN has been permits the malicious attack such as Auth/Deauth flooding more serious rather than we expected. Attacker can generate huge volume of malicious traffic as the same methods on existing wired network. The objective of wireless IP Traceback is to determine the real attack sources, as well as the full path taken by the wireless attack packets. Existing IP Traceback methods can be categorized as proactive or reactive tracing. But, these existing schemes did not provide enhanced performance against DoS attack on wireless traffic. In this paper, we propose a 'TTL based advanced Packet Marking' mechanism for wireless IP Packet Traceback with wireless Classification function. Proposed mechanism can detect and control DoS traffic on AP and can generate marked packet for reconstructing on the real path from the non-spoofed wireless attack source, by which we can construct secure wireless network based on AP with enhance traceback performance.

  • Security issue in mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a promising research. In 2011, we had accomplished a survey of black hole attacks in MANETs. However network technology is changing with each passing day, a vast number of novel schemes and papers have been proposed and published in recent years. In this paper, we survey the literature on malicious attacks in MANETs published during past 5 years, especially the black hole attack. Black hole attacks are classified into non-cooperative and collaborative black hole attacks. Except black hole attacks, other attacks in MANET are also studied, e.g., wormhole and flooding attacks. In addition, we conceive the open issues and future trends of black hole detection and prevention in MANETs based on the survey results of this paper. We summarize these detection schemes with three systematic comparison tables of non-cooperative black hole, collaborative black hole and other attacks, respectively, for a comprehensive survey of attacks in MANETs.

  • VoIP service is a transmission of voice data using SIP protocol on IP based network, The SIP protocol has many advantages such as providing IP based voice communication and multimedia service with cheap communication cost and so on. Therefore the SIP protocol spread out very quickly. But, SIP protocol exposes new forms of vulnerabilities on malicious attacks such as Message Flooding attack and protocol parsing attack. And it also suffers threats from many existing vulnerabilities like on IP based protocol. In this paper, we propose a new Virtual Proxy Server system in front of the existed Proxy Server for anomaly detection of SIP attack and stateful management of SIP session with enhanced security. Based on stateful virtual proxy server, out solution shows promising SIP Message Flooding attack verification and detection performance with minimized latency on SIP packet transmission.

  • Named Data Networking (NDN) has emerged and become one of the most promising architectures for future Internet. However, like traditional IP-based networking paradigm, NDN may not evade some typical network threats such as malicious data aggregates (MDA), which may lead to bandwidth exhaustion, traffic congestion and router overload. This paper firstly analyzes the damage effect of MDA using realistic simulations in large-scale network topology, showing that it is not just theoretical, and then designs a fine-grained MDA mitigation mechanism (MDAM) based on the cooperation between routers via alert messages. Simulations results show that MDAM can significantly reduce the Pending Interest Table overload in involved routers, and bring in normal data-returning rate and data-retrieval delay.
