“…Passive attacks typically involve only eavesdropping of data while active attacks could range from deleting messages, injecting erroneous messages, impersonate a node, etc thus violating the security requirements like availability, integrity, authentication and non-repudiation [3]. In this work, a solution for defending an important attack on Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), namely session hijacking attack in MANET.…”

“…This intentional interference with wireless mediums can be used to introduce the Denial of Service (DoS) attacks on wireless networks. Typically, jamming has been addressed under an external threat model (Pelechrinis et al, 2011). The open nature of the wireless networks, it has multiple security threats.…”

Large number of low power, tiny radio jammers are constituting a Distributed Jammer Network (DJN) is used nowadays to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) attack on a Distributed Wireless Network (DWN). Using NANO technologies, it is possible to build huge number of tiny jammers in millions, if not more. The Denial of Service (DoS) attacks in Distributed Wireless Network (DWN) using Distributed Jammer Network (DJN) considering each of them as separate Poisson Random Process. In an integrated approach, in this study, we advocate the more natural birth-death random process route to study the impact of Distributed Jammer Network (DJN) on the connectivity of Distributed Wireless Network (DWN). We express that the Distributed Jammer Network (DJN) can root a phase transition in the performance of the target network. We use Birth-Death Random Process (BDRP) route for this phase transition to evaluate the collision of Distributed Jammer Network (DJN) on the connectivity and global percolation of the target network. This study confirms the global percolation of Distributed Wireless Network (DWN) is definite when the Distributed Jammer Network (DJN) is not more significant.

“…There are many jamming techniques that vary from simple methods of jamming such as a continuous transmission of interference signals to block communication, to advanced methods which exploit protocol vulnerabilities of victim(s). In [112], a comprehensive survey is presented to cover various jamming attacks and methods of defense. In Table 9, jamming models discussed in [112] are mentioned with relevant information and specified references.…”

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks exhaust victim's bandwidth or services. Traditional architecture of Internet is vulnerable to DDoS attacks and an ongoing cycle of attack & defense is observed. A recent attack report of year 2013 -'Quarter 1' from Prolexic Technologies identifies that 1.75 percent increase in total number of DDoS attacks has been recorded as compared to similar attacks of previous year's last quarter. In this paper, different types and techniques of DDoS attacks and their countermeasures are surveyed. The significance of this paper is the coverage of many aspects of countering DDoS attacks including new research on the topic. We survey different papers describing methods of defense against DDoS attacks based on entropy variations, traffic anomaly parameters, neural networks, device level defense, botnet flux identifications, application layer DDoS defense and countermeasures in wireless networks, CCN & cloud computing environments. We also discuss some traditional methods of defense such as traceback and packet filtering techniques, so that readers can identify major differences between traditional and current techniques of defense against DDoS attacks. We identify that application layer DDoS attacks possess the ability to produce greater impact on the victim as they are driven by legitimate-like traffic, making it quite difficult to identify and distinguish from legitimate requests. The need of improved defense against such attacks is therefore more demanding in research. The study conducted in this paper can be helpful for readers and researchers to recognize better techniques of defense in current times against DDoS attacks and contribute with more research on this topic in the light of future challenges identified in this paper.
