Ping

Despite its impact ping sweeps and port scans are best understood as a huge security threat on today's company's network system. Introduction As technology grows and information has become a critical asset companies currently are devoted their resource and money to protect their data as important as their finance and human resource assets. Moreover, now days using information system is not as walking as in the park, it has many new security treats that the company might lose their confidential

Ping Sweeps and Port Scans Ping sweeps and ports scans are a common ways for hackers to probe a network and attempt to break into it. Although network probes are technically not intrusions themselves, they should not be taken lightly—they may lead to actual intrusions in the future. In the information that follows, I will provide a standard definition of a ping sweep and port scan, the possible uses of the two, and the prevention methods which are in place in our company to combat ping sweeps and

Ping Sweeps and Port Scans Introduction Ping sweeps and port scans are two ways hackers gather information about their targets. They can have a potentially devastating effect on an organization; they are a definite cause for concern. Below, this study explains exactly what ping sweeps and port scans are, how they might affect an organization, and why they are so concerning. What are ping sweeps? What are port-scans? Ping sweeps and port scans are two ways that hackers gather information about

Abstract Trends in network security changes constantly and attacks are becoming more sophisticated. Properly securing IT systems seems like to be an impossible and daunting task. The development of new defense tools to counter network attacks are being countered by hackers with new countermeasure to bypass the newly created defense tools. What this means is that hackers are very persistent and will continue to work to find ways to bypass networks and computer systems. With the constant development

Attacker swallows up the network by UDP packets. Because of there is no mechanism, receiver can't identify the fake requests. Ping of death attack follows the same mechanism but from a new angel. It sends ping request using over-sized packets. Normally, TCP/IP’s Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) i.e. maximum packet size is 65,536 octets (as per CISCO). As a result of over-sized pings, the routing device keeps rebooting perpetually or may be freezes up causing a total crash. 'Tribe Flood network'/'Tribe

DISTRIBUTED DENIAL OF SERVICE (DDoS) Prachi Shah School of Informatics and Computing Indiana University Bloomington Email: pracshah@indiana.edu Abstract--- Distributed Denial of Service attacks are executed by an attacker that uses numerous zombie machines to launch an attack against the victim system. The purpose is to exhaust the connection bandwidth thereby, making a network resource or a service temporarily or indefinitely unavailable to its intended users. Keywords DoS, DDoS, bandwidth

The Myth Of Network Latency By Barry Koplowitz Jul 1, 2011 This article is also available as a Podcast on "The ROOT Cause" podcast series available on iTunes. There is a great deal of confusion surrounding the concept of Latency. This is not surprising as it is really many different concepts discussed as if they were one. Latency impacts on all areas of the enterprise including, networks, servers, disk systems, applications, databases and browsers. This article describes the different areas in
