A Simple Active Attack Against TCP
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes an active attack against the Transport Control Protocol (TCP) which allows a cracker to redirect the TCP stream through his machine thereby permitting him to bypass the protection o ered by such a system as a one-time password [SKEY] or ticketing authentication [Kerberos]. The TCP connection is vulnerable to anyone with a TCP packet sni er and generator located on the path followed by the connection. Some schemes to detect this attack are presented as well as some methods of prevention and some interesting details of the TCP protocol behaviors.

An Efficient Response Time for Shrew Attack Protection in Mitigating Low-Rate Tcp- Targeted Attacks
-This paper presents a simple prioritytagging filtering mechanism, called SAP (Shrew Attack Protection), which protects well-behaved TCP flows against low-rate TCP-targeted Shrew attacks. In this scheme, a router maintains a simple set of counters and keeps track of the drop rate for each potential victim. If the monitored drop rates are low, all packets are treated as normal and equally comple...
متن کاملTCP Ack Storm DoS Attacks
We present Ack-storm DoS attacks, a new family of DoS attacks exploiting a subtle design flaw in the core TCP specifications. The attacks can be launched by a very weak MitM attacker, which can only eavesdrop occasionally and spoof packets (a Weakling in the Middle (WitM)). The attacks can reach theoretically unlimited amplification; we measured amplification of over 400,000 against popular web...

The distributed nature and complexity of computer networks and various services provided via them, makes the networks vulnerable to numerous attacks. The TCP/IP presumptions which are based on using this protocol to provide a simple, open communication infrastructure in an academic and collaborative environment, causes this protocol lack of built-in mechanisms for authentication, integrity and ...
