Lightweight IP Traceback Mechanism

A Lightweight IP Traceback Mechanism on IPv6

Due to the stateless nature of the internet, it is an intricate problem to determine the source of spoofed attacking packets. To handle this problem we utilize the IP traceback mechanism to know the actual source of an IP datagram. While many IP traceback techniques have been proposed but most of the previous studies focus and offer solutions for DDoS attacks done on IPv4 environment. Significa...

An Improved Ip Traceback Mechanism for Network Security

IP traceback is amongst the main challenges that face the security of today’s Internet. Many techniques were proposed, including inband packhranits alert and outband packets each of them has advantages and disadvantages. Source IP spoofing attacks are critical issues to the Internet. These attacks are considered to be sent from bot infected hosts. There has been active research on IP traceback ...

Taxonomy of IP Traceback

The internet is constantly plagued with various kinds of security threats amongst which Denial of Service (DoS) constitutes a huge umbrella of potent attacks. It’s very important to understand the intricacies constituting these attacks and countermechanisms that exist in the literature. The best antidote to deal with these attacks would be to fix the problem at its root by identifying the sourc...

GOSSIB vs. IP Traceback Rumors

To identify sources of distributed denial-of-service attacks, path traceback mechanisms have been proposed. Traceback mechanisms relying on probabilistic packet marking (PPM) have received most attention, as they are easy to implement and deploy incrementally. In this paper, we introduce a new concept, namely Groups Of Strongly SImilar Birthdays (GOSSIB), that can be used by to obtain effects s...
