Closing the Location of IP Spoofers Using Greedy Algorithm

Abstract

Network Security is the process of taking physical and software preventative measures to protect the underlying networking infrastructure from unauthorized access, misuse, malfunction, modification, destruction, or improper disclosure, thereby creating a secure platform for computers, users and programs. The system implementation mainly focusing disclosing the Locations of IP Spoofers from Path Backscatter using the passive IP trace back (PIT) that bypasses the deployment difficulties of IP trace back techniques. PIT investigates Internet Control Message Protocol error messages (named path backscatter) triggered by spoofing traffic, and tracks the spoofer’s based on public available information (e.g., topology). In this way, PIT can find the spoofer’s without any deployment requirement. This paper illustrates the causes, collection, and the statistical results on path backscatter, demonstrates the processes and effectiveness of PIT, and shows the captured locations of spoofer’s through applying PIT on the path backscatter data set. These results can help further reveal IP spoofing, which has been studied for long but never well understood. Though PIT cannot work in all the spoofing attacks, it may be the most useful mechanism to trace spoofers before an Internet-level trace back system has been deployed in real. Instead of proposing another IP trace back mechanism with improved tracking capability, we propose a solution algorithm, named Greedy algorithm to bypass the challenges in deployment. Routers may fail to forward an IP spoofing packet due to various reasons,exceeding. In such cases, the routers may generate an ICMP error message and send the message to the spoofed source address. Because the routers can be close to the spoofers, the path backscatter messages may potentially disclose the locations of the spoofers. Greedy Algorithm exploits these path backscatter messages to find the location of the spoofers. With the locations of the spoofers known, the victim can seek help from the corresponding ISP to filter out the attacking packets, or take other counterattacks. PIT is especially useful for the victims in reflection based spoofing attacks, e.g., DNS amplification attacks. The victims can find the locations of the spoofers directly from the attacking traffic.
