IP Spoofing Attack Detection using Route Based Information

IP spoofing is almost always used in one of the most difficult attack to defend against – Denial of Service (DoS) attack. DOS attack is evolving due to proliferation of diverse network application. Researchers have performed studies on online/offline network devices such as routers and IDS/IPS. While, the task of deep packet inspection is powerfully handled by IDS/IPS, the real time processing requirement is best suited for routers. The IP packet header information is efficiently handled by routers, hence proposing a technique the uses the router specific features will be best suited for real time processing. In this paper we introduce a technique which uses the router specific information to identify the IP spoofing based attack and mitigate it using that information.
