Modeling the economic incentives of DDoS attacks
Many of the Internet security incidents are caused by agents which act moved by economic incentives. When that is the case, it is possible to model attacker ́s incentives by applying economics principles and, if we can collect appropriate data, we can use the model to have a better understanding of the risk imposed by these threats. This paper presents a simple model that represents the economic...
متن کاملThe Economic Incentives Of Providing Network Security Services On The Internet Infrastructure
Distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attacks have emerged as a prevalent way to compromise the availability of networks/servers, which imposed financial losses for e-commerce businesses. Many defenses that mitigate the effect of ongoing DDOS attacks have been proposed. However, none of the defenses have been widely deployed on the Internet infrastructure at this point because of a lack of under...
متن کاملDDoS Mitigation in Non-cooperative Environments
Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks have plagued the Internet for many years. We propose a system to defend against DDoS attacks in a non-cooperative environment, where upstream intermediate networks need to be given an economic incentive in order for them to cooperate in the attack mitigation. Lack of such incentives is a root cause for the rare deployment of distributed DDoS mitigati...
متن کاملF-STONE: A Fast Real-Time DDOS Attack Detection Method Using an Improved Historical Memory Management
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 کاملMISQ Archivist Cybercrime Deterrence and International Legislation: Evidence from Distributed Denial of Service Attacks
In this paper, we estimate the impact of enforcing the Convention on Cybercrime (COC) on deterring distributed denial of service (DDOS) attacks. Our data set comprises a sample of real, random spoof-source DDOS attacks recorded in 106 countries in 177 days in the period 2004–2008. We find that enforcing the COC decreases DDOS attacks by at least 11.8 percent, but a similar deterrence effect doe...
