- High Fidelity Denial of Service (DoS) Experimentation
- Experimentation with security attacks introduces additional requirements compared to traditional networking and distributed system experiments. High capacity attack flows can push systems beyond their expected operational regions, and expose unexpected behaviors. Many popular simulation and emulation environments fail to account for such behaviors, and incorrect results have been reported based...

- Analysis of a Denial of Service Attack on TCP
- This paper analyzes a network-based denial of service attack for IP Internet Protocol based networks. It is popularly called SYN flooding. It works by an attacker sending many TCP Transmission Control Protocol connection requests with spoofed source addresses to a victim's machine. Each request causes the targeted host to instantiate...

- Exposing and Eliminating Vulnerabilities to Denial of Service Attacks in Secure Gossip-Based Multicast
- This paper proposes a framework and methodology for quantifying the effect of Denial of Service DoS attacks on a distributed system. They present a systematic study of the resistance of gossip-based multicast protocols to DoS attacks. They show that even distributed and randomized gossip-based protocols, which eliminate single points of...

- Proactive Server Roaming for Mitigating Denial-of-Service Attacks
- This paper proposes a framework based on proactive server roaming to mitigate the effects of Denial-of-Service DoS attacks. The active server proactively changes its location within a pool of servers to defend against unpredictable and undetectable attacks. Only legitimate clients can follow the active server as it roams. They present...
