Tom Terry, Huiming Yu, Ken A. Williams, Xiaohong Yuan, Bill Chu · 2011
In this paper we present a visualization based simulator that demonstrates SYN Flood attack related concepts. The design principles of the visualization based simulator are user friendly, visualization based, and easy to learn and use. Firstly the animation simulator demonstrates normal network traffics, secondly it exhibits how SYN flood attack works, and finally it shows using firewall to prevent SNY flood attacks. The visualization based simulator for SYN flood attack has been designed and implemented in the Department of Computer Science at North Carolina A&T State University to enhance information assurance education. This simulator has been used in the Department of Computer Science at North Carolina A&T State University for security related courses.
