SOURCES OF CHANGE IN INTERNET PROTOCOL GEOLOCATION DATABASES
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2021-09)
Commercial IP geolocation databases provide a capability to associate IP addresses or prefixes to a physical location. These services provide critical information for emergency services, commercial entities, and government ...
MAPPING MOBILE IPV6 PROVIDERS
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2020-09)
Despite the exponential increase of IPv6 addresses and traffic on the Internet, relatively little is known about the topology of this space compared to the IPv4 Internet. However, recent discoveries in IPv6 probing have ...
MODELING GLOBAL NAVIGATION SATELLITE SYSTEM POSITIONAL ERROR EFFECTS ON GEOGRAPHIC ROUTING PROTOCOLS
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2020-06)
Recent work on geographic routing protocols has shown that Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Position Navigation and Timing (PNT) positional error directly affects message delivery rates (MDRs) within Delay and ...
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, ...
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 ...
Distributed emulation in support of large networks
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2016-06)
Network emulation is a valuable, though potentially resource intensive, method for virtualizing networks for analysis or testing. Though high-powered servers are becoming increasingly accessible, the size and complexity ...
An improved tarpit for network deception
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2016-03)
Networks are constantly bombarded with malicious or suspicious network traffic by attackers attempting to execute their attack operations. One of the most prevalent types of traffic observed on the network is scanning ...
Crowdsourcing physical network topology mapping with net.Tagger
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2016-03)
Despite significant research, the challenge of mapping the physical topology of large networks remains a relatively unsolved problem. Although it possesses numerous ramifications for Internet security and resiliency, ...
Detection of active topology probing deception
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2015-09)
For all purposes and intents, being able to infer the topology of a network is crucial to both operators and adversaries alike. Tracer-oute is a common active probing technique but it may be subverted by deceptive responses. ...
