DoS ,Denial of Service, attacks are one of the most significant problems faced in the internet. There is a pretty simple way to understand the it, for example, there is a restaurant called DoS, there are so many ways for bad guys to stop the restaurant from normal running, such as destroying the cashier making other customer unable to pay, blocking the door making other people unable to get in, kidnapping the chef. Correspondingly, there are thousands of ways for hacker to initiate the DoS attack. There are two major aspect to launch the attack: band width attack and connection attack. the band width attack means hacker will send enormous information packet to the network, making network resource unavailable, so that the service will deny other customers’ request. For the connection attack, hacker will send tremendous connection request to the server, consuming all the system resource, so that the server will unable to receive other customers’ request. In past time, the attacker have to use huge band width to launch the DoS attack, however, it is almost impossible for one person to have it, in order to solve this, the hacker develop some software to control multiple compromised system flooding the targeted system with traffic, which is called DDoS(Distributed Denial of Service). As i mentioned above, there are many ways to launch the attack, such as ping flood(sending the server overwhelming number of ping packets), ping of death(sending the server with malformed ping packet), SYN flood, teardrop attacks, smurf attack, P2P attacks, application level flood.
However, with the development of society, the internet has to be able to offer great reliable service, even if there are so many hostility. However, it is necessary to reco...

...establish a new connection to server. In the current internet, NATs has make great contribution to the robust of internet, however, not everyone choose to use NATs , so the attacker can choose those host to launch the attack. As a consequence, by encouraging and accepting NATs ,we will achieve much more benefits. Obviously, it will increase the risk if every hosts has both client address and server address, in idealize condition, feew hosts will own both side of the address, server should not launch long distance connections while client only receive the connection request that has been verified by local.
STEP 2: it is not necessary for the client address have meaning on the global network, the address only need to be meaningful in the path between server and client, making the server know where the packet should send toward. What’s more, it can prevent DDoS to the
The webserver will be placed in a protected area, called a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), outside the corporate network. The DMZ will be protected by a hardened firewall server called a Bastion server. The Bastion server’s services are limited and the configuration is changed to make the server
The first odd network behavior that was reported by the network engineers and the system administrators was an analysis that showed that a single host on the network is opening hundreds of SSH sessions to every single other host on the Aim Higher College’s network every minute. This attacker or hacker is flooding the network with the SSH sessions to bring the web servers down to get some classified information. The second odd behavior was reported that hundreds of hosts are constantly sending SYN packets only to one of the web servers on the Aim Higher college’s campus. Furthermore, this attacker is trying to flood one of the web servers just by
Network modification is one of the action to be considered when DDoS attack occurs. In this situation incident response team could switch to different network by using domain name system (DNS). IP address are translated through DNS by their domain name and DNS and DNS responsibility is to allow the user to securely browse into any websites. Also, DNS allows to send and receive emails through any web browsers in any website. Incident team should distribute the attack traffic across the network of data center so it will delay the DDoS attack in spreading into other networks. At last, traffic should be sent to high capacity networks so it can go through scrubbing services.
Each day, millions of people around the world get on some sort of device that connects them to the internet where the answers they seek, or trying to seek, are there for the taking. However, since there are probably around a billion devices that connect to the internet, there must be a routing system in place to direct certain information to the devices that request it. Computers and devices have a system in place to direct pieces of information, called packets, to the right place. This system stack is based on four layers with the top layer being the application related, the second layer being transport, the third layer being the network layer, and lastly the physical layer. Each part has a specific process which helps deliver the message to the right device. Specifically, the networking layer will be looked upon as it relates to the address of the device.
3.If someone is swear to DDOS threats towards the network or players. Ban and put the name in Discord so we know to back check that player for future IP. DO NOT IP BAN!
In using NAT, hosts on the Internet appear to be communicating directly with the NAT device rather than with the actual host inside the private network. Inbound packets are sent to the NAT device's IP address and the device changes the destination packet header from its own Internet address to the private network address of the true destination host. The result is that, in theory, a single globally unique IP address is used for hundreds, thousands, or even millions of privately addressed hosts. In practice, however, there are drawbacks. For one thing, many Internet protocols and applications depend on the network being truly end-to-end, with packets forwarded entirely unmodified from the source to the destination.
With the development of technologies, Cyber Attacks have been increased rapidly in the past few years. Probability of causing damage to critical state infrastructure like nuclear or defense system, air traffic control, other governmental institutions, business and citizens leads to the problematic issue of its attribution, which is being highly debated in international Law. This Article by Nicholas Tsagourias makes contribution in that debate and revolves around the question of ascription of cyber-attacks as an armed attack and the right of self defense by the victim state in response to such attacks. However, the law of war requires that the cyber-attack must be attributed before a counterattack is permitted. This Article critically evaluates different obstacles of attribution like anonymity (determination of attacker’s identity), attack from different jurisdictions, and presentation of evidence in order to exercise the right of self defense by throwing the light on various political, technical and legal aspects.
attempt to force a network offline and unavailable to its intended users. This process is typically performed by flooding a network with communication requests until the server cannot respond to the traffic, thus making the server go offline and become available. This process is relatively simple to perform to the average person through online programs. Since it is so easy perform, it has become a rising issue simply because anyone has the ability to hack into various servers. One example in recent news of DDoS attacks comes from Riot Games, developer of the popular online multiplayer video game League of Legends. After a month of inconsistency with their server stability and frequent shut downs, Riot Games reported that within the l...

In our society, there has been a revolution which competes that of the industrial revolution. It is called technological revolution. At the top of the technological revolution is what we call, the Internet. In the following report we will be discussing about what the internet is about in general and how it might be in the future, why it is necessary in our everyday lives, and why has it become so important to everyone (i.e. companies, individuals ).
The Internet has revolutionized the computer and communications world like nothing before. The Internet enables communication and transmission of data between computers at different locations. The Internet is a computer application that connects tens of thousands of interconnected computer networks that include 1.7 million host computers around the world. The basis of connecting all these computers together is by the use of ordinary telephone wires. Users are then directly joined to other computer users at there own will for a small connection fee per month. The connection conveniently includes unlimited access to over a million web sites twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. There are many reasons why the Internet is important these reasons include: The net adapts to damage and error, data travels at 2/3 the speed of light on copper and fiber, the internet provides the same functionality to everyone, the net is the fastest growing technology ever, the net promotes freedom of speech, the net is digital, and can correct errors. Connecting to the Internet cost the taxpayer little or nothing, since each node was independent, and had to handle its own financing and its own technical requirements.
TCP/IP is a network model which enables the communication across the Internet. The most fundamental protocol on which the Internet is built. This is made up of the 2 common networking protocols, TCP, for Transmission Control Protocol, and IP, for Internet Protocol. TCP maintains and handles packet flow linking the systems and IP protocol has the ability to handle the routing of packets. However The TCP/IP stack consists of 5 layers first being application layer, the transport layer, then the network layer, the link layer and finally the physical layer. The assignment focuses on the three middle layers and is divided into five parts. Firstly explaining how the TCP and UDP the most vital protocols needed to deliver and communicate.
