Theses and Dissertations
CHARACTERIZING BGP COMMUNITY IRREGULARITIES TOWARD AN ANOMALY DETECTION ENGINE
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2019-12)
Prior work has demonstrated ways in which to attack the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) system as well as vulnerabilities of the BGP and its configuration. Furthermore, BGP attacks, such as hijacking, are common in the wild, ...
IDENTIFYING HONEYPOTS SIMULATING INTERNET-CONNECTED INDUSTRIAL-CONTROL SYSTEM DEVICES
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2019-09)
Heuristic analysis can reveal honeypots (decoy computer systems doing intelligence gathering) among Internet-connected industrial-control sites. Detectability of honeypots is undesirable, as it enables a careful adversary ...
SUNUP: ICMP TIMESTAMP BEHAVIORS IN FINGERPRINTING
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2019-09)
Previous work on a subset of the internet has identified a number of unique behaviors in ICMP timestamp responses. In this study we expand to studying the entire routable IPv4 address space, surveying ICMP timestamp ...
FINGERPRINTING IPV4 AND IPV6 ROUTERS USING ICMP
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2019-06)
This project reassesses and expands on a simple fingerprinting method for Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) routers, and extends that methodology to Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) routers. The initial methodology, ...
SCALING NETWORK TARPITS FOR IPV6
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2018-12)
Cyberspace is vital to the application of joint military operations, to the advancement of economic growth, and to the enhancement of day-to-day life. As such, its defense is critical, yet its defense is also difficult, ...
UTILIZING BLOCKCHAIN TO DESIGN AN EAST/WEST INTERFACE FOR FEDERATED SOFTWARE DEFINED NETWORKS
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2018-12)
After many years of development, Software Defined Networks (SDN) have started to see mainstream acceptance. Considerable work has established standards for the northbound and southbound interfaces of SDN controllers, but ...
Longitudinal study of large-scale traceroute results
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2018-03)
Traceroute is a popular active probing technique used by researchers, operators, and adversaries to map the structure and connectivity of IP networks. However, traceroute is susceptible to making inaccurate inferences. ...
Comparative analysis of disruption tolerant network routing simulations in the ONE and ns-3
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2017-12)
This thesis studies the performance of Disruption Tolerant Networking (DTN) routing protocols, and the effect of simulator selection. Research into the Geo-location Assisted Predictive Routing (GAPR), and GAPR2 protocols ...
Blind data attack on BGP routers
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2017-03)
Transport Communication Protocol (TCP) implementations may not properly implement blind attack protection, leaving long-standing connections, such as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) sessions, vulnerable to exploitation. This ...
High-frequency mapping of the IPv6 Internet using Yarrp
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2017-03)
Both the number of hosts using Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), and the volume of IPv6 traffic, has increased exponentially since 2012.With this adoption, the IPv6 routed infrastructure becomes an increasingly important ...
