AN ENHANCED IP TRACEBACK MECHANISM FOR TRACKING THE ATTACK SOURCE USING PACKET MARKING AND PATH RECONSTRUCTION
Pavithra K. C, Nagesh H. R · 2014
The Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are launched synchronously from multiple locations and they are extremely harder to detect and stop. Identifying the true origin of the attacker along with the necessary preventive measures helps in blocking further occurrences these types of attacks. The issue of tracing the source of the attack deals with the problem of IP traceback. Several techniques have been proposed for IP Traceback. One of the major challenges in design of efficient traceback scheme is to minimize the number of packets required for successful traceback. Several traceback mechanisms including packet marking schemes have been proposed for DoS/DDoS defense but they have got their own limitations.The main aim of this paper is to reduce the number of packets involved across the efficient traceback by improving the performance of Linear and Remainder Packet Marking schemes using an Enhanced IP Traceback Mechanism (EITM).
