Abstract

With the prevalence of Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attacks, detection and containment of malicious attacks of networks by crackers has gained prominence. In DDOS attacks and in cracker attacks in general, the usual technique of crackers is to infiltrate a network through a vulnerable host and then launch further attacks. Software that detects vulnerabilities and intrusions in a single host exists today. We propose a novel distributed scheme that uses the knowledge of a single system (that it has been the target of an intrusion attempt) to be disseminated to its friendly neighbors, so that they can take preventive measures against the intruder.
