Abstract Internet of Things (IoT) opens up the possibility of agglomerations of different types of devices, Internet and human elements to provide extreme interconnectivity among them towards achieving a completely connected world of things. The mainstream adaptation of IoT technology and its widespread use has also opened up a whole new platform for cyber perpetrators mostly used for distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. In this paper, under the influence of internal and external nodes, a two - fold epidemic model is developed where attack on IoT devices is first achieved and then IoT based distributed attack of malicious objects on targeted resources in a network has been established. This model is mainly based on Mirai botnet made of IoT devices which came into the limelight with three major DDoS attacks in 2016. The model is analyzed at equilibrium points to find the conditions for their local and global stability. Impact of external nodes on the over-all model is critically analyzed. Numerical simulations are performed to validate the vitality of the model developed.

Client Side

In a typical DoS attack, the attacker tries to bring the server down. In this case, the attacker sends a lot of bogus queries to the server to consume its computing power and bandwidth. As the server’s bandwidth and computing power are always greater than attacker’s client machine, He seeks help from a group of connected computers. DDoS attack involves a lot of client machines which are hijacked by the attacker (together called as botnet). As the server handles all these requests sent by the attacker, all its resources get consumed and it cannot provide services. In this project, we are more concerned about reducing the computing power on the server side by giving the client a puzzle to solve. To prevent such attacks, we use client puzzle mechanism. In this mechanism, we introduce a client-side puzzle which demands the machine to perform tasks that require more resources (computation power). The client’s request is not directly sent to the server. Moreover, there will be an Intermediate Server to monitor all the requests that are being sent to the main server. Before the client’s request is sent to the server, it must solve a puzzle and send the answer. Intermediate Server is used to validate the answer and give access to the client or block the client from accessing the server.

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) is a predominant threat to the availability of online services due to their size and frequency. However, developing an effective security mechanism to protect a network from this threat is a big challenge because DDoS uses various attack approaches coupled with several possible combinations. Furthermore, most of the existing deep learning- (DL-) based models pose a high processing overhead or may not perform well to detect the recently reported DDoS attacks as these models use outdated datasets for training and evaluation. To address the issues mentioned earlier, we propose CyDDoS, an integrated intrusion detection system (IDS) framework, which combines an ensemble of feature engineering algorithms with the deep neural network. The ensemble feature selection is based on five machine learning classifiers used to identify and extract the most relevant features used by the predictive model. This approach improves the model performance by processing only a subset of relevant features while reducing the computation requirement. We evaluate the model performance based on CICDDoS2019, a modern and realistic dataset consisting of normal and DDoS attack traffic. The evaluation considers different validation metrics such as accuracy, precision, F1-Score, and recall to argue the effectiveness of the proposed framework against state-of-the-art IDSs.

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is considered one of the major security threats in the current Internet. Although many solutions have been suggested for the DDoS defense, real progress in fighting those attacks is still missing. In this chapter, the authors analyze and experiment with cluster-based filtering for DDoS defense. In cluster-based filtering, unsupervised learning is used to create profile of the network traffic. Then the profiled traffic is passed through the filters of different capacity to the servers. After applying this mechanism, the legitimate traffic will get better bandwidth capacity than the malicious traffic. Thus the effect of bad or malicious traffic will be lesser in the network. Before describing the proposed solutions, a detail survey of the different DDoS countermeasures have been presented in the chapter.

Web service interruptions caused by DDoS (distributed denial of service) attacks have increased considerably over the years, and intrusion detection systems (IDS) are not enough to detect threats on the network, even when used together with intrusion prevention systems (IPS), taking into account the increase of assets in the traffic path, where it creates unique points of failure in the system, and also taking into account the use of data that contains information about normal traffic situations and attacks, where this comparison and analysis can cost a significant amount of host resources, to try to guarantee the prediction, detection, and mitigation of attacks in real-time or in time between detection and mitigation, being crucial in harm reduction. This chapter presents an adaptive architecture that combines techniques, methods, and tools from different segments to improve detection accuracy as well as the prediction and mitigation of these threats and to show that it is capable of implementing a powerful architecture against this type of threat, DDoS attacks.

Recently the notorious Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks made people aware of the importance of providing available data and services securely to users. A DDoS attack is characterized by an explicit attempt from an attacker to prevent legitimate users of a service from using the desired resource (CERT, 2006). For example, in February 2000, many Web sites such as Yahoo, Amazon.com, eBuy, CNN.com, Buy. com, ZDNet, E*Trade, and Excite.com were all subject to total or regional outages by DDoS attacks. In 2002, a massive DDoS attack briefly interrupted Web traffic on nine of the 13 DNS “root” servers that control the Internet (Naraine, 2002). In 2004, a number of DDoS attacks assaulted the credit card processor Authorize. net, the Web infrastructure provider Akamai Systems, the interactive advertising company DoubleClick (left that company’s servers temporarily unable to deliver ads to thousands of popular Web sites), and many online gambling sites (Arnfield, 2004). Nowadays, Internet applications face serious security problems caused by DDoS attacks. For example, according to CERT/CC Statistics 1998-2005 (CERT, 2006), computer-based vulnerabilities reported have increased exponentially since 1998. Effective approaches to defeat DDoS attacks are desperately demanded (Cisco, 2001; Gibson, 2002).

Voip Services

Voice over IP (VoIP) services hold promise because of their offered features and low cost. Most VoIP networks depend on the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) to handle signaling functions. The SIP is a text-based protocol that is vulnerable to many attacks. Denial of Service (DoS) and distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks are the most harmful types of attacks, because they drain VoIP resources and render SIP service unavailable to legitimate users. In this paper, we present recently introduced approaches to detect DoS and DDoS attacks, and classify them based on various factors. We then analyze these approaches according to various characteristics; furthermore, we investigate the main strengths and weaknesses of these approaches. Finally, we provide some remarks for enhancing the surveyed approaches and highlight directions for future research to build effective detection solutions.
