CERIAS Weekly Security Seminar – Purdue University
The forgery of source IP addresses, called IP spoofing, is commonly exploited to launch damaging denial-of-service (DoS) attacks in the Internet. Currently proposed spoofing prevention approaches either focus on protecting only the target of such attacks and not the routing fabric used to forward spoofed packets, or fail under commonly occurring situations like path asymmetry. We will presents a hop-wise packet marking approach that equips the routers to drop spoofed packets close to their origination. Our approach has utmost concern for immediate deployability and simulations show that it dramatically reduces the amount of spoofing possible even under partial deployment.
