IPv6 network infrastructure and stability inference
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2014-09)
IPv6 deployment is increasing as IPv4 address allocations near exhaustion. Many large organizations, including the Department of Defense (DOD), have mandated the transition to IPv6. With the transition to IPv6, new techniques ...
Dynamics of abusive IPv6 networks
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2014-09)
The exhaustion of available public IPv4 addresses has had a significant impact in an expanding, networked world and has led to increased adoption of IPv6. As IPv6 becomes more commonplace, it permits abusive and malicious ...
Comparing internet probing methodologies through an analysis of large dynamic graphs
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2014-06)
The Internet is an evolving, robust system with built in redundancy to ensure the flow of information regardless of any act of nature or man-made event. This makes mapping the Internet a daunting task, but important because ...
Design and evaluation for the end-to-end detection of TCP/IP header manipulation
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2014-06)
Understanding, measuring, and debugging IP networks, particularly across administrative domains, is challenging. One aspect of the challenge are transparent middleboxes, which are now common in today’s Internet. In-path ...
Detecting potentially compromised credentials in a large-scale production single-signon system
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2014-06)
We posit that potentially compromised credentials are detectable by analyzing the system artifacts of a large-scale production, single-signon system. With permission from the Defense Manpower Data Center, we analyze a ...
Temporal comparisons of Internet topology
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2014-06)
Network science and its many applications provide insight into several genres, including biological, neural, logistical and technical problems. The study of complex networks extends to the Internet as well, merging graph ...
Incentivizing and evaluating internet-wide network measurements
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2014-03)
The Internet’s size is a primary challenge to researchers attempting to capture its properties. Inferences are therefore often based on available measurements, which may be biased due to the measurement process. We seek ...
IPv6 geolocation using latency constraints
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2014-03)
IPv4 addresses are now exhausted, and as a result, the growth of IPv6 addresses has increased significantly since 2010. The rate of increase of IPv6 usage is expected to continue; thus the need to determine the geographic ...
Employing deceptive dynamic network topology through software-defined networking
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2014-03)
Computer networks are constantly being actively probed in attempts to build topological maps of intermediate nodes and discover endpoints, either for academic research or nefarious schemes. While some networks employ ...
Efficient strategies for active interface-level network topology discovery
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2013-09)
As a piece of critical infrastructure, the Internet brings both benefits and security concerns. Recent cyber-security episodes such as route hijacks and Denial-of-Service attacks might have been mitigated and prevented ...
