Protection from distributed denial of service attacks using history-based IP filtering
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we introduce a practical scheme to defend against Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks based on IP source address filtering. The edge router keeps a history of all the legitimate IP addresses which have previously appeared in the network. When the edge router is overloaded, this history is used to decide whether to admit an incoming IP packet. Unlike other proposals to defend against DDoS attacks, our scheme works well during highly-distributed DDoS attacks, i.e., from a large number of sources. We present several heuristic methods to make the IP address database accurate and robust, and we present experimental results that demonstrate the effectiveness of our scheme in defending against highly-distributed DDoS attacks.

HF-Blocker: Detection of Distributed Denial of Service Attacks Based On Botnets
Abstract—Today, botnets have become a serious threat to enterprise networks. By creation of network of bots, they launch several attacks, distributed denial of service attacks (DDoS) on networks is a sample of such attacks. Such attacks with the occupation of system resources, have proven to be an effective method of denying network services. Botnets that launch HTTP packet flood attacks agains...

Software Defined Network (SDN) is a new architecture for network management and its main concept is centralizing network management in the network control level that has an overview of the network and determines the forwarding rules for switches and routers (the data level). Although this centralized control is the main advantage of SDN, it is also a single point of failure. If this main contro...

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) is a common attack in recent years that can deplete the bandwidth of victim nodes by flooding packets. Based on the type and quantity of traffic used for the attack and the exploited vulnerability of the target, DDoS attacks are grouped into three categories as Volumetric attacks, Protocol attacks and Application attacks. The volumetric attack, which the pro...
متن کاملDefending Against Distributed Denial of Service Attacks Using Selective Pushback
In this paper, we introduce a router-based system to defend against Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. DDoS attacks are treated as a congestioncontrol problem. The main issue is to identify the congestion and then pushback a packet filter to the router closest to the source that causes congestion. Unlike previous approaches, we propose an anomaly detection scheme using source informa...
متن کاملDefending Against Distributed Denial of Service Attacks
The Denial of Service attack, especially the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack, has become one of the major threats to the Internet. Generally, attackers launch DDoS attacks by directing a massive number of attack sources to send useless traffic to the victim. The victim’s services are disrupted when its host or network resources are occupied by the attack traffic. The threat of DDoS ...
