Internet Of Thing

The term internet of thing (IoT) has gained much popularity in the last decade. Which can be defined as various connected devices over the internet. IoT has rapidly  spread to include all aspects of our lives. For instance, smart houses, smart cities, and variant wearable devices. IoT devices work to do their desired goals, which is to develop a person life with his/her minimal involvement. At the same time, IoT devices have many weaknesses, which attackers exploit to affect these devices security. Denial of Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) are considered the most common attacks that strike IoT security. The main aim of these attacks is to make victim systems down and inaccessible for legitimate users by malicious malware. This paper objective is to discuss and review security issues related to DoS/DDoS Attacks and their counter measures i.e. prevention based on IoT devices layers structure.

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.

The article presents the results of an analysis of the growth in the development of botnet networks and new cyber threats when they are used by cybercriminals. A review and comparison of the models for the implementation of botnet networks is carried out, as a result of which there are two main types. The main types of attacks carried out using the infrastructure of distributed computer networks are identified and classified, formed into 7 main groups, taking into account the relevance, prevalence and amount of damage. Based on the results of the analysis, it was determined that the most widespread and relevant type of attack is “Denial of Service”. The article presents a classification of services that provide services to ensure the protection of network resources from distributed attacks by the "Denial of Service" type, by the type of deployment, the level of security and the types of services provided. The comparison criteria are given taking into account their infrastructure, availability of technical support and a test period, available types of protection, capabilities, additional options, notification and reporting, as well as licensing. Practically implemented and shown a way to integrate the DDoS-Guard Protection service with an additional module at the application level, which made it possible to expand the methods of protection against DDoS attacks. Various modifications of the combined use of the module and the modified system make it possible to increase the expected level of detection and prevention of cyber - attacks.

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have become a serious attack for internet security and Cloud Computing environment. This kind of attacks is the most complex form of DoS (Denial of Service) attacks. This type of attack can simply duplicate its source address, such as spoofing attack, which defending methods do not able to disguises the real location of the attack. Therefore, DDoS attack is the most significant challenge for network. In this chapter we present different aspect of security in Cloud Computing, mostly we concentrated on DDOS Attacks. The Authors illustrated all types of Dos Attacks and discussed the most effective detection methods.

Privacy Issues

Communication between devices has transitioned from wired to unwired. Wireless networks have been in use widely around the globe since the advent of smartphones, IoT devices and other technologies that are compatible with wireless mode of communication. At the same time security issues have also increased in such communication methods. The aim of this paper is to propose security and privacy issues of the wireless networks and present them through comprehensive surveys. In context of security issues, there are 2 typical DDoS attacks - HTTP flood and SYN flood. Other than DDoS attacks, there are several other threats to wireless networks. One of the most prevalent include security issues in Internet of Things. In terms of privacy issues in a wireless network, location-based applications, individual data, cellular network and V2G (Vehicle to Grid) network are surveyed. The survey is hosted using questionnaire and responses of 70 participants is recorded. It is observed from the survey results that many groups of people lack the knowledge of security and privacy of wireless technologies and networks despite their increased use, however, students are relatively more aware and have strong knowledge of those issues. It is concluded from the results that an effective solution to these problems can be hosting campaigns for spreading the security and privacy laws to help the groups of people who are lagging behind in this domain of knowledge become more aware. A unique solution is also presented to overcome the security issues which include implementation of detection and mitigation techniques, implementing Blockchain in the IoT devices and implementing fog computing solutions. The unique solutions to overcome the privacy issues are proposed in the form of a privacy approach from the LBS server between pairs of users to increase the implementation of DSPM and blockchain as a solution.

<p>Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks utilise many attacking entities to prevent legitimate use of a resource via consumption. Detecting these attacks is often difficult when using a traditional networking paradigm as network information and control are not centralised. Software-Defined Networking is a recent paradigm that centralises network control, thus improving the ability to gather network information. Traffic classification techniques can leverage the gathered data to detect DDoS attacks.This thesis utilises nmeta2, a SDN-based traffic classification architecture, to study the effectiveness of machine learning methods to detect DDoS attacks. These methods are evaluated on a physical network testbed to demonstrate their application during a DDoS attack scenario.</p>

The past few years have witnessed the threats caused by the evolving of botnets. It has been found that the nefarious network consisting of contagious systems called as bots are operated by the botmaster. These botnets have been used for malicious activities. This prevailing threat on the internet has led to spam, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, phishing emails, and other cyber-attacks. The detection of such networks is very important keeping the protocols and features they work upon. The paper talks about the various detection techniques that can be adapted to evade the attacks of bots. The huge amount of traffic created by bots can be studied and distinguished respectively to understand the protocols used by the botmaster; which are further used to detect botnets based on the signature and anomaly patterns. The attacks being done from different locations have made it difficult for a botnet to be caught. It has been mentioned that a few networks provide the bots with a nickname using which the detection can be done. The method has been described thoroughly by also specifying how the bot-names of the same network are similar. Nowadays, the number of botnets has increased with a fewer number of trained bots. These network work upon the protocols like Command and Control (C&C), Internet Relay Chat (IRC), HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and Peer to Peer(P2P). The detection of such networks is being done classifying the traffic and analyzing the spam e-mails alongside the respected IP address. Even the traps of honeynet are developed which motivate the botmaster to take action and get caught. Such honeynet techniques along with the required steps and the necessary precautions are also mentioned in the paper.
