CAT – A Practical SDL Based Attack Attribution Toolkit for 3G Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the Cross Infrastructure Attack Attribution Toolkit (CAT), which is a utility to analyze the vulnerability of 3G networks using telecommunication specifications. CAT analyzes vulnerabilities by generating attack graphs, which show the global view of the network in the event of an attack. The uniqueness of CAT is as follows: (1) usage of telecommunication specification written in Specification and Description Language (SDL) to derive attack graphs, (2) implementation of simple algorithms that output attack graphs irrespective of intruder profile and network configuration, and (3) generation of attack graphs that are exhaustive, succinct and loop free with low redundancy.

The wireless communication with delivering variety of services to users is growing rapidly in recent years. The third generation of cellular networks (3G), and local wireless networks (WLAN) are the two widely used technologies in wireless networks. 3G networks have the capability of covering a vast area; while, WLAN networks provide higher transmission rates with less coverage. Since the two n...
متن کاملDependency relation based vulnerability analysis of 3G networks: Can it identify unforeseen cascading attacks?
Cascading attacks pose a new threat to the third generation (3G) wireless telecommunications network. These attacks are dangerous and difficult to detect due to their remote far-reaching effects. To automate the accurate detection of these attacks and their remote effects, we developed a telecommunication specification based toolkit called the Advanced Cellular Network Vulnerability Assessment ...
متن کاملOn the detection of signaling DoS attacks on 3G/WiMax wireless networks
Third Generation (3G) wireless networks based on the CDMA2000 and UMTS standards are now increasingly being deployed throughout the world. Because of their complex signaling and relatively limited bandwidth, these 3G networks are generally more vulnerable than their wireline counterparts, thus making them fertile ground for new attacks. In this paper, we identify and study a novel Denial of Ser...
