It is very difficult to completely block the DDoS attack, which paralyzes services by depleting resources or occupying the network bandwidth by transmitting a vast amount of traffic to the specific website or server from normal users' PCs that have been already infected by an outside attacker. In order to defense or endure the DDoS attack, we usually use various solutions such as IDS (Intrusion Detection System), IPS (Intrusion Prevention System), ITS (Intrusion Tolerance System), FW (Firewall), and the dedicated security equipment against DDoS attack. However, diverse types of security appliances cause the cost problem, besides, the full function of the equipments are not performed well owing to the unproper setting without considering connectivity among systems. In this paper, we present the effective connectivity of security equipments and countermeasure methodology against DDoS attack. In practice, it is approved by experimentation that this designed methdology is better than existing network structure in the efficiency of block and endurance. Therefore, we would like to propose the effective security control measures responding and enduring against discriminated DDoS attacks through this research.

In this paper, we propose the NCP (Network Control Platform)-based defense mechanism against DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks in order to guarantee the transmission of normal traffic and prevent the flood of abnormal traffic. We also define defense modules, the threshold and packet drop-rate used for the response against DDoS attacks. NCP analyzes whether DDoS attacks are occurred or not based on the flow and queue information collected from SR (Source Router) and VR (Victim Router). Attack packets are dopped according to drop rate decided from NCP. The performance is simulated using OPNET and evaluated in terms of the queue size of both SR and VR, the transmitted volumes of legitimate and attack packets at SR.

본 논문에서는 DDoS 공격 패킷을 사전에 탐지하고 트래픽 제어를 하기위한 방안을 제안한다. 제안된 모델은 공격대상에서 멀리 떨어 진 라우터에서 낮은 임계치를 적용하여 탐지 하게 되며 지역 연합 모델을 통한 지역적인 방어 행동을 취하게 된다. 사전에 취해지는 방어 행동으로 인해 본 시스템은 좋은 성능을 발휘 할 것이다. 시스템의 각 지역연합들은 DDoS 공격의 악의 적인 트래픽의 양을 줄이는 것에 기여 할 것이다.

Since the DoS(Denial of Service) attack is still an important vulnerable element in many web service sites, sites including public institution should try their best in constructing defensive systems. Recently, DDoS(Distributed Denial of Service) has been raised by prompting mass network traffic that uses NTP's monlist function or DoS attack has been made related to the DNS infrastructure which is impossible for direct defense. For instance, in June 2013, there has been an outbreak of an infringement accident where Computing and Information Agency was the target. There was a DNS application DoS attack which made the public institution's Information System impossible to run its normal services. Like this, since there is a high possibility in having an extensive damage due to the characteristics of DDoS in attacking unspecific information service and not being limited to a particular information system, efforts have to be made in order to minimize cyber threats. This thesis proposes a method for using TTL (Time To Live) value in IP header to detect DDoS attack with IP spoofing, which occurs when data is transmitted under the agreed regulation between the international and domestic information system.

As the number of online systems based on the internet gradually increases, cyber-scale attacks that interfere with the normal operation of web services are also on the rise. In particular, distributed denial-of-service attacks (DDoS) that interfere with normal web service operations are also increasing. Therefore, this paper presents an efficient DDoS attack defense technique utilizing Equal Cost Multi-Path (BGP ECMP) routing techniques in networks of Anycast type by operating PoP basis of major attack sources and describes how high-availability web services can be operated.

DDoS attacks have had a devastating effect on the Internet, which can cause millions of dollars of damage within hours or even minutes. In this paper we propose a practical dynamic defense approach that overcomes the shortage of static defense mechanisms. Our approach employs a group of SDN-based proxy switches to relay data flow between users and servers. By substituting backup proxy switches for attacked ones and reassigning suspect users onto the new proxy switches, innocent users are isolated and saved from malicious attackers through a sequence of remapping process. In order to improve the speed of attacker segregation, we have designed and implemented an efficient greedy algorithm which has been demonstrated to have little influence on legitimate traffic. Simulations, which were then performed with the open source controller Ryu, show that our approach is effective in alleviating DDoS attacks and quarantining the attackers by numerable remapping process. The simulations also demonstrate that our dynamic defense imposes little effect on legitimate users, and the overhead introduced by remapping procedure is acceptable.

DDoS attacks have been used for paralyzing popular Internet services. Especially, amplification attacks have grown dramatically in recent years. Defending against amplification attacks is challenging since the attacks usually generate extremely hugh amount of traffic and attack traffic is coming from legitimate servers, which is hard to differentiate from normal traffic. Moreover, some of protocols used by amplification attacks are widely adopted in IoT devices so that the number of servers susceptible to amplification attacks will continue to increase. This paper studies on the analysis of amplification attack mechanisms in detail and proposes defense methodologies for scenarios where attackers, abused servers or victims are in a monitoring network.

네트워크 대역폭 소모 위주로 발생했던 DDoS 공격이 최근에는 웹서비스 대상 시스템 부하 유발을 통해 가용성을 떨어뜨리는 응용계층에서의 DDoS 공격 위주로 발생하고 있다. 이러한 DDoS 공격에 대응하기 위해 History, IP 분산도, GRT, Behavior 기반 등 다양한 대응 메커니즘이 연구되고 있지만 연구초기 단계에 머물러 있다. 본 논문에서는 Admission Control 기반 DDoS 공격대응 메커니즘을 제안하고, 시스템 개발을 통해 성능을 검증하였다. 제안된 메커니즘은 지금까지 발생한 모든 응용계층 DDoS 공격유형에 대응 가능하며, 기존 Behavior 기반 대응기법은 오탐지 가능성이 있으나 제안하는 메커니즘은 오탐지가 발생하지 않는 장점이 있어, 상용 환경에 바로 적용할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

최근의 분산 서비스 거부(DDoS) 공격 방법은 점점 더 자동화, 다양화되고 있으며, 단순한 개별 기업에 대한 공격에서부터 국가간의 사이버전쟁으로까지 그 영역이 확대되고 있다. DDoS 공격은 이미 2000 년도 이전부터 발생해온 오래된 공격이고, 이를 방어하기 위한 다양한 DDoS 공격 방어 시스템을 구축하고 있음에도 불구하고 아직까지 이를 효과적으로 차단하지 못하고 있다. 이는 그간 DDoS 공격 방어 시스템이 공격이 시작되었을 때 개개의 공격 패턴을 탐지하고 차단하는 방법으로 발전해 왔기 때문이다. 따라서 좀 더 효과적인 DDoS 공격 대응을 위해 공격 트래픽이 발송되기 전에 클라이언트에서부터 공격에 대응하는 방안이 필요하다. 이에 본 논문에서는 사용자 인증을 통하여 등록된 사용자임을 검증하고, 클라이언트와 인증장비간의 인증을 통해 인증된 사용자의 트래픽만 허용하는 매커니즘을 제안한다.
