UDP Inundation Attacks' Evaluation, Using Virtual Environment as an Experimental Platform

Abstract:

The Denial of Dervice Attacks (DoS) is used for precluding access to services and resources from an organization during an indefinite period of time. Usually, corporations apply DoS in their company's servers, so they cannot be accessed by authorized users. This project focuses on the evaluation of UDP FloodDoS attacks, using as an experimental platform a virtual network environment, which enables to identify how these attacks cause the Broadband saturation. In order to disable the internal and external access to an exposedWeb service, a WAN, LAN, and DMZ segmentation network was designed and implemented. The analyzed tools were: the UPD Unicorn, Longcat Flooder, and the UDPl. pl Perl Script. The first two were installed in a Windows environment and the third one was installed in a Linux. To validate this research a mechanism for detecting and mitigating attacks a firewall and IDS/IPS levels was …
