In the hyper-connected network, which network equipment is diverse and network structure is complex, the attack surface has also increased. In this environment, MTD(Moving Target Defense) technology is being researched as a method to fundamentally defend against cyber attacks by actively changing the attack surface. network-based MTD technologies are being widely studied. However, in order for network address mutation technology to be applied within the existing fixed IP-based system, research is needed to determine what impact it will have. In this paper, we studied the impact of applying network address mutation technology to the existing network protection system. As a result of the study, factors to be considered when firewall, NAC, IPS, and network address mutation technologies are operated together were derived, and elements that must be managed in network address mutation technology for interoperability with the network analysis system were suggested.

In order to simulate cyber attacks and predict network behavior by attacks, we should represent attributes of network components in the simulation model, and should express characteristics of systems that carry out various cyber attacks and defend from these attacks. To simulate how network load may change under the cyber attacks, we extended SSF[9, 10] that is process-based event-oriented simulation system. We added a firewall class and a packet manipulator into the SSFNet that is a component of SSF. The firewall class, which is related to the security, is to simulate cyber attacks, and the packet manipulator is a set of functions to write attack programs for the simulation. The extended SSFNet enables to simulate a network with the security systems and provides advantages that make easy to port already exsiting attack programs and apply them to the simulation evironment. We made a vitual network model to verify operations of the added classes, and simulated a smurf attack that is a representative denial of sevive attack, and observed the network behavior under the smurf attack. The results showed that the firewall class and packet manipulator developed in this paper worked normaly.

Wireless Ad hoc Network is threatened from many types of attacks because of its open structure, dynamic topology and the absence of infrastructure. Attacks by malicious nodes inside the network destroy communication path and discard packet. The damage is quite large and detecting attacks are difficult. In this paper, we proposed attack detection technique using secure authentication infrastructure for efficient detection and prevention of internal attack nodes. Cluster structure is used in the proposed method so that each nodes act as a certificate authority and the public key is issued in cluster head through trust evaluation of nodes. Symmetric Key is shared for integrity of data between the nodes and the structure which adds authentication message to the RREQ packet is used. ns-2 simulator is used to evaluate performance of proposed method and excellent performance can be performed through the experiment.

The printing environment for output is commonly referred to as computers and printers using local connections in 1: 1 format. However, the local connection environment has spatial, temporal, and financial physical limitations. Therefore, a network-based output environment has been proposed and utilized as a way to supplement this.A network printer receives data in packets for document output, and generally does not support a security protocol. Therefore, when a network printer is used, there is a possibility that the content of a document being printed is stolen by being exposed to a network attack such as a meson attack or spoofing against a printed matter. In this paper, we define and define the requirements to cope with the meson attack on printed materials in a network printer environment where security protocol is not supported.

Generally, network attacks are based on a scenario composed of a series of single-attacks, scenario attacks are launched over a wide network environment and their targets are not apparent. it is required to analyze entire packets captured on the network. This method makes it difficult to detect accurate patterns of attacks because it unnecessarily analyzes even packets unrelated to attacks. In this paper, we design and implement a simulation system for attacks scenario, which helps packet classification connected with attacks. The proposed system constitutes a target network for analysis in a virtual simulation environment, and it simulates dumping TCPDUMP packets including scenario attacks under the constructed virtual environment, We believe that our proposed simulation system will be a useful tool when security administrators perform the analysis of patterns of attack scenarios.

MANET can be applied to various applications as it can autonomously configure the network with only mobile nodes. However, the network can be vulnerable to cyber attacks because it is organized in a distributed environment without central control or management. In this paper, we propose a simulation-based network security vulnerability analysis and verification method. Using this method, we simulated the routing message modification attack, Sybil node attack, and TLV message modification attack that may frequently occur in MANET, and confirmed that similar vulnerabilities can be occurred in the real system. Therefore, the proposed method can be used to improve the accuracy of the protocol design by verifying possible security vulnerabilities through simulation during the protocol design procedure.

To enhance the efficiency of network, content-centric networking (CCN), one of future Internet architectures, allows network nodes to temporally cache transmitted contents and then to directly respond to request messages which are relevant to previously cached contents. Also, since CCN uses a hierarchical content-name, not a host identity like source/destination IP address, for request/response packet routing and CCN request message does not include requester's information for privacy protection, contents-providers/ network nodes can not identify practical requesters sending request messages. So to send back relevant contents, network nodes in CCN records both a request message and its incoming interfaces on Pending Interest Table (PIT). Then the devices refer PIT to return back a response message. If PIT is exhausted, the device can not normally handle request/response messages anymore. Hence, it is needed to detect/react attack to exhaust PIT. Hence, in this paper, we propose improved detection/reaction schemes against attacks to exhaust PIT. In practice, for fine-grained control, this proposal is applied to each incoming interface. Also, we propose the message framework to control attack traffic and evaluate the performance of our proposal.

Change of paradigm of network attack technique was begun by fast extension of the latest Internet and new attack form is appearing. But, Most intrusion detection systems detect informed attack type because is doing based on misuse detection, and active correspondence is difficult in new attack. Therefore, to heighten detection rate for new attack pattern, visibilitys to apply human immunity mechanism are appearing. In this paper, we create self-file from normal behavior profile about network packet and embody self recognition algorithm to use self-nonself discrimination in the human immune system to detect anomaly behavior. Sense change because monitors self-file creating anomaly detector based on Negative Selection Algorithm that is self recognition algorithm's one and detects anomaly behavior. And we achieve simulation to use DARPA Network Dataset and verify effectiveness of algorithm through the anomaly detection rate.

With the general use of network, cyber terror rages throughout the world. However, IP Fragmentation isn\`t free from its security problem yet, even though it guarantees effective transmission of the IP package in its network environment. Illegal invasion could happen or disturb operation of the system by using attack mechanism such as IP Spoofing, Ping of Death, or ICMP taking advantage of defectiveness, if any, which IP Fragmentation needs improving. Recently, apart from service refusal attack using IP Fragmentation, there arises a problem that it is possible to detour packet filtering equipment or network-based attack detection system using IP Fragmentation. In the paper, we generate the real time access log file to make the system manager help decision support and to make the system manage itself in case that some routers or network-based attack detection systems without packet reassembling function could not detect or suspend illegal invasion with divided datagrams of the packet. Through the implementation of the self-managing system we verify its validity and show its future effect.

As the number of information asset and their vulnerabilities are increasing, it becomes more difficult for network security administrators to assess security vulnerability of their system and network. There are several researches for vulnerability analysis based on quantitative approach. However, most of them are based on experts' subjective evaluation or they require a lot of manual input for deriving quantitative assessment results. In this paper, we propose HRMS(Hacking and Response Measurement System) for enumerating attack path using automated vulnerability measurement automatically. HRMS can estimate exploitability of systems or applications based on their known vulnerability assessment metric, and enumerate attack path even though system, network and application's information are not fully given for vulnerability assessment. With this proposed method, system administrators can do proactive security vulnerability assessment.
