- LITEWORP: Detection and Isolation of the Wormhole Attack in Static Multihop Wireless Networks
- In multihop wireless systems, such as ad-hoc and sensor networks, the need for cooperation among nodes to relay each other's packets exposes them to a wide range of security attacks. A particularly devastating attack is known as the wormhole attack, where a malicious node records control and data traffic at...

- The Evolving Threat: Combat Training for the New Era of Malicious Code
- The malicious code used in modern attacks has more devastating consequences than the headline-making worms and viruses of the previous era. Many existing protection systems are inadequately prepared to stop new forms of malicious code. Largely signature-based, these legacy security products rely on known attack signatures. When one of these...

- Malicious Code Protector: A New Approach for Detecting and Blocking Buffer Over?ow Attacks
- While attack countermeasures have been developed to identify a buffer overflow attack after it has emerged, current solutions are unable to identify new attacks or variations on the attack. This is a critical problem given the spread at which these attacks can spread. To solve this problem Check Point developed...

- Malicious Websites
- 2005 saw the beginning of a movement towards an entirely new type of attack method. Until then, most attackers would compromise a computer system by simply attacking it with known vulnerabilities or "bugs" that could allow the attacker to gain some level of control over the system. These are commonly...

- Backtracking Algorithmic Complexity Attacks Against a NIDS
- Network Intrusion Detection Systems NIDS have become crucial to securing modern networks. To be effective, a NIDS must be able to counter evasion attempts and operate at or near wire-speed. Failure to do so allows malicious packets to slip through a NIDS undetected. This paper explores NIDS evasion through algorithmic...

- Before an individual executes a serious attack against your network, he or she will likely spend time preparing for the event--just as traditional thieves often "case" their intended targets. Cybercriminals conduct pre-attack activities designed to identify the attack's goal, determine the attack's target, and detect the target's exploitable weakness. Being...
