Monitoring staff email and internet: The dos and don'ts
News Every office generates so much email, IM and internet traffic it's all but impossible for management to keep track of exactly what's being said, seen and done online. But how can execs be confident that all these digital conversations... [22 Oct 2009]
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attacks: Evolution, Impact, & Solutions
White Paper Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks have existed since the early days of computing and have evolved into complex and overwhelming security challenges. Organizations have had to worry not just about DoS... [05 Oct 2009]
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attacks: Latest Motivations and Methods
White Paper Attackers normally create a denial of service (DoS) condition by either breaking down the communication channel to the server (by consuming server bandwidth), or by bringing down the server completely or impairing its... [05 Oct 2009]
Q1 2009 Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Report
White Paper Contained within the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) report for the first Quarter (Q1) of 2009 are news items regarding noteworthy cyber attacks and botnets, the individuals or organizations responsible for their perpetration,... [05 Oct 2009]
Defense Against DoS, Flooding Attacks
White Paper The following paper concentrates on the means of defense against denial of service attacks. First, some possible and common denial of service attacks are described to give the reader a basic understanding of what is this type of the... [02 Oct 2009]
Accurately Measuring Denial of Service in Simulation and Testbed Experiments
White Paper Researchers in the Denial of Service (DoS) field lack accurate, quantitative and versatile metrics to measure service denial in simulation and testbed experiments. Existing DoS metrics equate service... [02 Oct 2009]
Inputs of Coma: Static Detection of Denial-of-Service Vulnerabilities
White Paper As networked systems grow in complexity, they are increasingly vulnerable to Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks involving resource exhaustion. These DoS attacks exploit the semantics of the target... [02 Oct 2009]
Empirical Study of Tolerating Denial-of-Service Attacks With the Fosel Architecture
White Paper Filtering techniques are one of the main approaches to protect applications from Denial of Service Attacks (DoS). However filtering techniques suffer from two main challenges: the accuracy detection of... [02 Oct 2009]
Mitigating Distributed Denial of Service Attacks in Multiparty Applications in the Presence of Clock Drifts
White Paper A weak point in network-based applications is that they commonly open some known communication port(s), making themselves targets for Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. Considering adversaries that can eavesdrop and launch... [02 Oct 2009]
Using NetFlow Auditor to Assist in Identifying Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks and Other Network Behavior Anomalies
White Paper This Paper covers how Denial of Service Attacks (DoS) and Distributed Denial of Service Attacks (DDos) can be identified early to mitigate and attack. The paper will reflect a method to alert when changes occur outside... [02 Oct 2009]
DDoS Protection Service: Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS)
White Paper Since the early days of the Internet, "Denial-of-service" (DoS) attacks have been a fact of life. The goal of these attacks is to restrict on a grand scale the availability of certain online systems and/or services or to... [02 Oct 2009]
A Case Study: Using Architectural Features to Improve Sophisticated Denial-of-Service Attack Detections
White Paper However, the relationship between hardware architecture events and Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks has not been well revealed. Application features such as port numbers are used by Network-based Intrusion Detection... [02 Oct 2009]
Denial of Service Attacks in Networks With Tiny Buffers
White Paper However, reducing buffer sizes might pose new security risks: it is much easier to fill up tiny buffers, and thus organizing Denial of Service (DoS) attacks seems easier in a network with tiny buffers. [02 Oct 2009]
Australian cops investigate 'anonymous' cyber attack threat
News The Australian Federal Police (AFP) has been called in to investigate a planned denial-of-service attack on Australian government web servers. A spokesperson from the Attorney General's Department (AGD) today said it was aware of the... [09 Sep 2009]
Towards Data Security in Affordable Data Warehouses
White Paper This paper presents current work on developing an architecture for affordable data warehouses with extended data protection capabilities and tolerance against nodes Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. The Data Warehouse... [02 Sep 2009]
