Summary
This study introduces a novel single-packet IP traceback method using only packet ID fields. It effectively solves storage and fragmentation issues, achieving accurate attack source identification with zero false positives or negatives.
Area of Science:
- Computer Science
- Network Security
- Cybersecurity
Background:
- IP spoofing conceals attack origins, necessitating effective traceback mechanisms.
- Existing packet logging and marking schemes for IP traceback face challenges with storage and packet fragmentation.
- Hybrid approaches offer improvements but still struggle with scalability and fragment handling.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a novel single-packet IP traceback scheme.
- To address and resolve the storage and packet fragmentation issues inherent in current methods.
- To achieve high accuracy in identifying attack sources.
Main Methods:
- A new hybrid single-packet IP traceback scheme is proposed.
- The scheme utilizes only the IP header's ID field for packet marking.
- Techniques for reassembling fragmented packets with tracing marks are developed.
Main Results:
- The proposed scheme enables reassembly of fragmented packets containing tracing marks.
- Storage requirements are independent of the number of packets processed.
- The scheme achieves zero false positive and zero false negative rates.
Conclusions:
- This novel scheme offers a practical solution for single-packet IP traceback.
- It overcomes critical limitations of previous methods regarding storage and fragmentation.
- The achieved accuracy sets a new standard for IP traceback effectiveness.
