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 ...
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 ...
"Why does MPTCP have to make things so complicated?": cross-path NIDS evasion and countermeasures
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2016-09)
A recent enhancement to Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is Multipath TCP (TCP), a new transport layer protocol that enhances TCP to be capable of communicating over multiple paths by establishing several "subflow" ...
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 ...
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, ...
Correlating inferred data plane IPv6 reboot events with con-trol plane BGP activity
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2016-03)
We investigate network outages by systematically correlating inferred reboot events from probing the data plane with global routing events in the control plane. We introduce a correlation technique that can be used to ...
Strategies used in capture-the-flag events contributing to team performance
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2016-03)
Capture-the-flag (CTF) exercises are useful pedagogical tools and have been employed, both formally and informally, by academic institutions. Much like their physical counterparts, cyber CTF exercises hold pedagogical value ...
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 ...
