A Study about DDoS Attacks in SIP Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
Modern all-IP networks, which transfer telephony, multimedia and data use mainly as signalling protocol the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). These networks are exposed to various types of attacks, and among them, a DDoS attack can result particularly dangerous, because it can be directed against the SIP signalling system. A shield can be implemented only after the detection of an attack, hence, it is important to implement a fast and reliable method for the detection of an attack. In this paper, we propose a new method to resolve the problem of detection of flood-based DDoS attacks during a SIP session. The method we propose is based on non-parametric CUSUM theory and uses a sensor to analyze inter-arrival times of incoming flows jointly to a packet analyzer. This last is used to extract sensible data from the received SIP messages. Particularly, we assume that the flow of SIP requests is Poisson distributed.

Study on Auto Detecting Defence Mechanisms against Application Layer Ddos Attacks in SIP Server
Denial of Service (DoS) or Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) is a powerful attack which prevents the system from providing services to its legitimate users. Several approaches exist to filter network-level attacks, but application-level attacks are harder to detect at the firewall. Filtering at application level can be computationally expensive and difficult to scale, while still creating bo...

Although software-defined networking (SDN) brings numerous benefits by decoupling the control plane from the data plane, there is a contradictory relationship between SDN and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. On one hand, the capabilities of SDN make it easy to detect and to react to DDoS attacks. On the other hand, the separation of the control plane from the data plane of SDN intr...

Increasing the popularity of SIP based services (VoIP, IPTV, IMS infrastructure) lead to concerns about its security. The main signaling protocol of next generation networks and VoIP systems is Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). Inherent vulnerabilities of SIP, misconfiguration of its related components and also its implementation deficiencies cause some security concerns in SIP based infra...

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...

Distributed denial of services (DDoS) attacks post a major threat to Internet security. This paper proposes a distributed system to detect flooding DDoS attacks at the earliest possible time. At the launching stage of a DDoS attack, some changes in traffic fluctuation are detectable at the router or gateway level. We develop a distributed change-point (DCP) detection architecture using change a...
