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 ...
A BENCHMARK FRAMEWORK AND SUPPORT FOR AT-SCALE BINARY VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2021-09)
Today, software is integrated into nearly every aspect of our lives and so are its vulnerabilities. Exploited software vulnerabilities can have detrimental financial, social, and economic effects. Researchers rely on ...
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 ...
CHASING THE UNKNOWN: A PREDICTIVE MODEL TO DEMYSTIFY BGP COMMUNITY SEMANTICS
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2020-09)
The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) specifies an optional communities attribute for traffic engineering, route manipulation, remotely-triggered blackholing, and other services. However, communities have neither unifying ...
THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS: CLASSIFYING ANOMALOUS BGP COMMUNITIES
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2020-09)
The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) community field is poorly defined and has no means of authentication. This BGP attribute has the power to reroute and black hole traffic across the internet. The BGP communities' path ...
ANALYSIS OF EUI-64'BASED ADDRESSING AND ASSOCIATED VULNERABILITIES
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2020-09)
Despite the adoption of security extensions in IPv6 addressing, usage of EUI-64'based addresses are known to be prevalent throughout the IPv6 address space. In particular, a high concentration of EUI-64 addresses are found ...
BLOCKCHAIN SCALABILITY IN SOFTWARE DEFINED NETWORKS
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2020-03)
Recent optimizations in blockchain technology and increased utilization of software defined networking (SDN) have led to new opportunities in data center network management. The research problem presented in this study is ...
TOWARD UNDERSTANDING THE LONGITUDINAL STABILITY OF AN IP GEOLOCATION DATABASE
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2020-03)
While many IP Geolocation Database (IPGD) studies exist gauging "accuracy" by comparing to ground truth (and other IPGDs), there is a dearth of studies looking at the stability of IPGD locations in longitudinal context. ...
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 ...
