In this paper, I will discuss how the Internet has spread rapidly in our lives. Large portals and social networks experience service attacks that access personal customers' databases. This interferes with normal service through DDoS (Distribute Denial of Service Attack), which is the topic I want to discuss. Among the types of DDoS, TCP SYN Flooding attacks are rarely found because they use few traffics and its attacking type is regular transaction. The purpose of this study is to find and suggest the method for accurate detection of the attacks. Through the analysis of TCP SYN Flooding attacks, we find that these attacks cause Backscatter effect. This study is about the algorithm which detects the attacks of TCP SYN Flooding by the study of Backscatter effect.

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.

Cyber threats are evolving and becoming more sophisticated with the development of new technologies, and consequently the number of service failures caused by DDoS attacks are continually increasing. Recently, DDoS attacks have numerous types of service failures by applying a large amount of traffic to the domain address of a specific service or server. In this paper, after generating the data of the Syn Flooding attack, which is the representative attack type of bandwidth exhaustion attack, the data were compared and analyzed using Random Forest, Decision Tree, Multi-Layer Perceptron, and KNN algorithms for the effective detection of attacks, and the optimal algorithm was derived. Based on this result, it will be useful to use as a technique for the detection policy of Syn Flooding attacks.

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a critical Internet infrastructure that provides name to address mapping services. In the past decade, Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks have targeted the DNS infrastructure and threaten to disrupt this critical service. While the flooding DoS attacks may be alleviated by the DNS caching mechanism, we show in this paper that flooding DoS attacks utilizing name error queries is capable of bypassing the cache of resolvers and thereby impose overwhelming flooding attacks on the name servers. We analyze the impacts of such DoS attacks on both name servers and resolvers, which are further illustrated by May 19 China's DNS Collapse. We also propose the detection and defense approaches for protecting DNS servers from such DoS attacks. In the proposal, the victim zones and attacking clients are detected through monitoring the number of corresponding responses maintained in the negative cache. And the attacking queries can be mitigated by the resolvers with a sample proportion adaptive to the percent of queries for the existent domain names. We assess risks of the DoS attacks by experimental results. Measurements on the request rate of DNS name server show that this kind of attacks poses a substantial threat to the current DNS service.

The SYN flooding attack is widely used in cyber attacks because it paralyzes the network by causing the system and bandwidth resources to be exhausted. This paper proposed a self-information approach for detecting the SYN flooding attack and provided a detection algorithm with a hierarchical policy on a detection time domain. Compared with other detection methods of entropy measurement, the proposed approach is more efficient in detecting the SYN flooding attack, providing low misjudgment, hierarchical detection policy, and low time complexity. Furthermore, we proposed a detection algorithm with limiting system resources. Thus, the time complexity of our approach is only (log n) with lower time complexity and misjudgment rate than other approaches. Therefore, the approach can detect the denial-of-service/distributed denial-of-service attacks and prevent SYN flooding attacks.

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.

Recently it frequently occur that remote host or network device breaks down because of various traffic flooding attacks. This kind of attack is classified an one of the most serious attacks of it can be used to a need of other hackings. This research is gathering system's informations for detecting a traffic flooding attack using the SNMP MIB. We analyze the traffic characteristic applying the critical value commonly used in analytical procedure of traffic flooding attacks. As a result or this analysis, traffic flooding attacks have a special character of its on. The proposed algorithm in this paper would be more available to a previous detecting method and a previous protecting method.

In the present internet environment, various traffic flooding attacks and worm attacks cause economical loss. If IPv4 is substituted by IPv6 because of the lack of IP address, it will be more serious. Therefore, we design and implement the traffic analysis tool which can detect attacks by expecting them encountered in the IPv6 environment. Proposed tool is composed of packet generation module, packet gathering module, discrimination module, and display module in X-windows. As a simulation result, it is proved that it can effectively detect DAD-NA message attack, TCP SYN flooding attack, UDP flooding attack and ICMP flooding attack in the IPv6 environment.

Recently, network based DDoS attacks have been changed into application layer DDoS attacks which are targeted at the web services. Specially, an attacker makes zombie PCs generate small traffic and its traffic pattern has been similar to the normal user's pattern. So, existing HTTP PPS based Threshold cannot defend the DDoS attacks effectively. In this paper, we displayed all the GET Flooding attack types and propose three DDoS attack defense mechanisms which are simple and very powerful. Proposed mechanisms can defend all the existing GET Flooding DDoS attacks and be deployed in the real environment immediately with little resource consumption.

Over the past years, Link Flooding Attacks (LFAs) have been introduced as new network threats. LFAs are indirect DDoS attacks that selectively flood intermediate core links, while legacy DDoS attacks directly targets end points. Flooding bandwidth in the core links results in that a wide target area is affected by the attack. In the traditional network, mitigating LFAs is a challenge since an attacker can easily construct a link map that contains entire network topology via traceroute. Security researchers have proposed many solutions, however, they focused on reactive countermeasures that respond to LFAs when attacks occurred. We argue that this reactive approach is limited in that core links are already exposed to an attacker. In this paper, we present SDHoneyNet that prelocates vulnerable links by computing static and dynamic property on Software-defined Networks (SDN). SDHoneyNet deploys Honey Topology, which is obfuscated topology, on the nearby links. Using this approach, core links can be hidden from attacker's sight, which leads to effectively building proactive method for mitigating LFAs.
