Application Whitelisting: A New Security Paradigm
White Paper With a defense-? It shouldn't matter that the web is the preferred malware attack vector and that in 1Q08 a new infected webpage was discovered every five seconds. in-? depth strategy in place complete... [13 Nov 2009]
Web Browsers: An Emerging Platform Under Attack
White Paper The first layer of malware defense should be placed at the network perimeter and be managed centrally. This helps the IT person in charge sleep better. This layer alone can't replace proper patch management and rollouts,... [12 Nov 2009]
DDoS Defense Mechanism by Applying Stamps
White Paper The control mechanisms for DDoS attack networks are changing to make greater use of Internet Relay Chat (IRC) technology. In current trend, internet plays a vital role in the life and distributed computing structure... [12 Nov 2009]
Advanced Vulnerability Analysis and Intrusion Detection Through Predictive Attack Graphs
White Paper The approach to network defense applies attack graphs for advanced vulnerability analysis and intrusion detection. Network security tools generally lack sufficient context for maintaining a well informed... [11 Nov 2009]
Blue Versus Red: Towards a Model of Distributed Security Attacks
White Paper The paper considers security decision-making in tightly and loosely coupled networks and allow defense expenditures in protection and self-insurance technologies. Attackers benefit from the successful compromise of... [11 Nov 2009]
Defense Against DoS, Flooding Attacks
White Paper When conducting the experiment the author noticed that a successful attack on the networked system is relatively easy as the needed tools are free to download but at the same time the simple means of... [02 Oct 2009]
Rule-Based Defense Mechanism Against Distributed Denial-of-Service Attacks
White Paper This paper proposes a rule-based defense mechanism against DDoS attacks. The latest DDoS attack has the property of swift propagation speed and various attack patterns. Since the number... [02 Oct 2009]
A Survey on MANET Intrusion Detection
White Paper Attack prevention measures, such as authentication and encryption, can be used as the first line of defense for reducing the possibilities of attacks. In recent years, the security issues on MANET have... [11 Sep 2009]
Defense in Depth Strategy Optimizes Security
White Paper Intel IT developed a defense in depth strategy that optimizes security using interlocking prediction, prevention, detection, and response capabilities. Its strategy uses prediction to gain insights into the most likely... [05 Aug 2009]
Detect SYN Flooding Attack in Edge Routers
White Paper This paper proposes a novel defense mechanism that makes use of the edge routers that connect end hosts to the Internet to store and detect whether the outgoing SYN, ACK or incoming SYN/ACK segment is valid. [01 Jul 2009]
Cooperative Attack and Defense in Distributed Networks
White Paper The opportunities and challenges presented by cooperation extend to attack and defense in distributed networks. Computer networks are becoming increasingly decentralized. No single entity controls the... [30 Jun 2009]
Live Baiting for Service-Level DoS Attackers
White Paper Denial-of-service attacks can result in significant loss of time and money for many organizations, thus, many defense mechanisms have been proposed. In a DoS attack the attacker is attempting to make a... [30 Jun 2009]
Analysis of a Distributed Denial-of-Service Attack
White Paper One DDoS defense technique actively studied by researchers is on-line packet attribute analysis followed by selective packet filtering. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of this technique, they have analyzed the... [30 Jun 2009]
Analyzing Interaction Between Denial of Service (DoS) Attacks and Threats
White Paper This paper aims to provide an understanding of the existing attack methods, tools and defense mechanisms, so that a better understanding of DDoS attacks can be achieved. Because of the seriousness of the... [20 Jun 2009]
Denial of Service and Distributed Denial of Service Attack: Detection and Countermeasures
White Paper Important features of each attack and defense system countermeasure strategy of each proposed scheme are outlined. While DoS attack technology continues to evolve, the circumstances... [20 Jun 2009]
