چکیده
In the rapid changing inter-connected environment, cyber criminals are opting sophisticated tools to hide their identities and locations. Stepping stones are now popular among the miscreants and making the situations worse. The paper details the role of stepping stones in hiding the cyber criminals and highlights it as challenge to differentiate the stepping stones from legitimate computers in the network. The paper details the various issues in stepping stones detection and explains four parameters that are playing a crucial role to identify the stepping stones in this inter-connected digital infrastructure.

Dropped Packet Problems in Stepping Stone Detection Method
This paper discusses one of the issues that are not covered by current stepping stone detection based researches. Although dropped packet problems are well-known problem in real network environment, all of the stepping stone detection researches just assume that dropped packet problems do not occur. Stepping stone detection research already in complex condition where each enhancement of the res...
متن کاملStepping-stone Detection Technique Forrecognizing Legitimate and Attack Connections
A stepping-stone connection has always been assumed as an intrusion since the first research on stepping-stone connections twenty years ago. However, not all stepping-stone connections are malicious. This paper proposes an enhanced stepping-stone detection (SSD) technique which is capable to identify legitimate connections from stepping-stone connections. Stepping-stone connections are identifi...
متن کاملModeling and Detecting Stepping-Stone Intrusion
Most network intruders launch their attacks through steppingstones to reduce the risks of being discovered. To uncover such intrusions, one prevalent, challenging, and critical way is to compare an incoming connection with an outgoing connection to determine if a computer is used as stepping-stone. In this paper, we present four models to describe stepping-stone intrusion. We also propose the i...

This research intends to introduce a new usage of Artificial Intelligent (AI) approaches in Stepping Stone Detection (SSD) fields of research. By using Self-Organizing Map (SOM) approaches as the engine, through the experiment, it is shown that SOM has the capability to detect the number of connection chains that involved in a stepping stones. Realizing that by counting the number of connection...
متن کاملEvading stepping-stone detection under the cloak of streaming media with SNEAK
Network-based intrusions have become a serious threat to the users of the Internet. To help cover their tracks, attackers launch attacks from a series of previously compromised systems called stepping stones. Timing correlations on incoming and outgoing packets can lead to detection of the stepping stone and can be used to trace the attacker through each link. Prior work has sought to counter t...
