- Vanguard: A New Detection Scheme for a Class of TCP-Targeted Denial-of-Service Attacks
- A few low-rates, TCP-targeted Denial-of-Service DoS attacks have been recently proposed, including the Shrew attack, Reduction of Quality RoQ attack, and Pulsing DoS PDoS attack. All of them use periodic attack pulses to throttle TCP flows. These attacks could potentially become major threats to the Internet's stability and therefore they...

- Mitigating Denial of Service Attacks: A Tutorial
- This paper describes what Denial of Service DoS attacks are, how they can be carried out in IP networks, and how one can defend against them. Distributed DoS DDoS attacks are included here as a subset of DoS attacks. A DoS attack has two phases: a deployment and an attack...

- Defending Against Low-Rate TCP Attacks: Dynamic Detection and Protection
- This paper considers a distributed approach to detect and to defend against the low-rate TCP attack. The low-rate TCP attack is essentially a periodic short burst which exploits the homogeneity of the minimum Retransmission Time Out RTO of TCP flows and forces all affected TCP flows to back off and...

- Attacks involving targeted Trojans going up
- The number of attacks involving targeted Trojans are increasing, with up to 70 targeted Trojans a day recorded in the month of April this year. This represents an increase of 250% over the December 2007 level of just 28 per day. A targeted Trojan is sent...

- DiscountASP.NET Wards Off DoS Threats & 10 Million Online Attacks With TippingPoint Protecting Its Customers
- In May 2005, a distributed Denial of Service DoS attack targeted one of the many Web sites that DiscountASP.NET hosts. The attack flooded the site's server with unwanted packets, against which the firewalls were ineffective. The surge in traffic crippled not just the site, but also the entire server. As...

- Targeted Attacks: A Special Report
- This story of a real-life attack illustrates that it's a lot easier than most people realize for a determined attacker to wreak havoc, especially when the targeted systems aren't fully prepared.

- Protection of Corporated Networks Against Targeted Attacks
- In contrast to typical malicious code attacks, carried out indiscriminately in order to affect as many systems as possible, targeted attacks can be defined as those which look to affect a specific user. A frequent example of a targeted attack is where users receive infected files through instant messaging from...

- Targeted Cyber Attacks: The Dangers Faced by Your Corporate Network
- Cyber attack is the name given by usually sensationalist articles and documents describing crimes that occur in a virtual world as opposed to tangible attacks such as war. A targeted cyber attack is when the attacker specifically targets someone or a company. A successful attack will typically allow the attacker...

- A Silent SMS Denial of Service (DoS) Attack
- Global System for Mobile communications GSM is a popular mobile communications network. Short Message Service SMS is an easily adopted person-to-person communications technology for mobile devices. The GSM architecture allows for the insertion of mass application-generated SMS messages directly into the network infrastructure. In contrast, a mass continuous send of...

- WON (Wireless Overlay Network) for Traceback of Distributed Denial of Service
- This paper presents an incremental and scalable solution for tracing Denial of Service DoS and Distributed DoS DDoS attacks. The approach allows the victim to identify the network paths traversed by attack traffic without requiring the support from ISP or knowledge of the network topology. In contrast to previous probabilistic...

- Best Practices for Preventing DoS/Denial of Service Attacks
- Many corporate websites have suffered from illegal denial-of-service DoS attacks more than once. The companies that learn how to turn these experiences to their advantage go a long way to ensuring it doesn't happen again. Sometimes there's nothing like adversity to give a new look at surroundings. And the events...

- Impact of Denial of Service Attacks on Ad Hoc Networks
- Significant progress has been made towards making ad hoc networks secure and DoS resilient. However, little attention has been focused on quantifying DoS resilience: Do ad hoc networks have sufficiently redundant paths and counter-DoS mechanisms to make DoS attacks largely ineffective? Or are there attack and system factors that can...

- Victim-Assisted Mitigation Technique for TCP-Based Reflector DDoS Attacks
- This paper develops the concept of victim-assistance for Denial of Service DoS mitigation. The proposed concept is utilized within a simple, yet effective scheme designed for mitigating TCP-based reflector DoS attacks. The proposed scheme, called SYN number based filtering SNF, takes into account the TCP's connection establishment behavior and the...

The ontology is based upon an analysis of over 4,000 classes of computer intrusions and their corresponding attack strategies and is categorized according to: system component targeted, means of attack, consequence of attack and location of attacker. The...
