چکیده

Denial of Service (DoS) is a security threat which compromises the confidentiality of information stored in Local Area Networks (LANs) due to unauthorized access by spoofed IP addresses. SYN Flooding is a type of DoS which is harmful to network as the flooding of packets may delay other users from accessing the server and in severe cases, the server may need to be shut down, wasting valuable resources, especially in critical real-time services such as in e-commerce and the medical field. The objective of this paper is to review the state-of-the art of detection mechanisms for SYN flooding. The detection schemes for SYN Flooding attacks have been classified broadly into three categories – detection schemes based on the router data structure, detection schemes based on statistical analysis of the packet flow and detection schemes based on artificial intelligence. The advantages and disadvantages for various detection schemes under each category have been critically examined. The performance measures of the categories have also been compared.

Analysis of the SYN Flood DoS Attack

The paper analyzes systems vulnerability targeted by TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) segments when SYN flag is ON, which gives space for a DoS (Denial of Service) attack called SYN flooding attack or more often referred as a SYN flood attack. The effects of this type of attack are analyzed and presented in OPNET simulation environment. Furthermore, the paper presents two anomaly detection a...

Detecting SYN Flooding Attacks

We propose a simple and robust mechanism for detecting SYN flooding attacks. Instead of monitoring the ongoing traffic at the front end (like firewall or proxy) or a victim server itself, we detect the SYN flooding attacks at leaf routers that connect end hosts to the Internet. The simplicity of our detection mechanism lies in its statelessness and low computation overhead, which make the detec...

A Comparative Study of Defense Mechanisms against SYN Flooding Attack

Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) flooding attacks are a serious threat to the security of the internet. A DDoS attack makes a machine or network resources not usable by the legitimate clients. A SYN flood is a form of denial-of-service attack. An attacker sends SYN requests continuously to a target system to consume enough server resources and to make the system unable to respond to legitim...

Network-based Intrusion Detection Model for Detecting TCP SYN flooding

This paper presents a method for detecting TCP SYN flooding attack using BENEF model. Our model relies on the significant parameters of anomalous network packets, the statistic of system behavior, and the decision with threshold and fuzzy rule-based technique. With fuzzy technique, rules or a set of rules corresponding with the appropriate membership value are designed for analysis and to find ...
