The SYN flood attack is a common attack strategy on the Internet, which tries to overload services with requests leading to a Denial-of-Service (DoS). Highly asymmetric costs for connection setup - putting the main burden on the attackee -…
Network attacks have became increasingly more sophisticated and stealthy due to the advances in technologies and the growing sophistication of attackers. Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) are a type of attack that implement a wide range of…
With the growing realization that current Internet protocols are reaching the limits of their senescence, a number of on-going research efforts aim to design potential next-generation Internet architectures. Although they vary in maturity…
Denial of Service (DoS) attacks are one of the most challenging threats to Internet security. An attacker typically compromises a large number of vulnerable hosts and uses them to flood the victim's site with malicious traffic, clogging its…
Software-defined network (SDN) is a new approach that allows network control to become directly programmable, and the underlying infrastructure can be abstracted from applications and network services. Control plane). When it comes to…
Software Defined Networking (SDN) has emerged as a programmable approach for provisioning and managing network resources by defining a clear separation between the control and data forwarding planes. Nowadays SDN has gained significant…
Software-defined networking (SDN) has shifted network management by decoupling the data and control planes. This enables programmatic control via software applications using open APIs. SDN's programmability has fueled its popularity but may…
A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is an attempt to produce humongous traffic within a network by overwhelming a targeted server or its neighboring infrastructure with a flood of service requests ceaselessly coming from multiple…
The Internet is the driving force of the new digital world, which has created a revolution. With the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT), almost everything is being connected to the internet. However, with the traditional IP network…
Protecting the networks of tomorrow is set to be a challenging domain due to increasing cyber security threats and widening attack surfaces created by the Internet of Things (IoT), increased network heterogeneity, increased use of…
