As the Internet has transformed into a critical infrastructure, society has become more
vulnerable to its security flaws. Despite substantial efforts to address many of these …

Abstract The rise of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have been steady in terms
of the frequency and the impact of the attack. Traditionally, the attackers required control of a …

With the widespread innovation of the Internet of Things, software-defined networking
(SDN), and cloud computing, cyber-physical systems (CPSs) have been developed and …

In this paper, we present a new DNS amplification attack, named TsuKing. Instead of
exploiting individual DNS resolvers independently to achieve an amplification effect …

Fast Internet-wide scanning is essential for network situational awareness and asset
evaluation. However, the vast IPv6 address space makes brute-force scanning infeasible …

In this paper, we shed new light on the DNS amplification ecosystem, by studying
complementary data sources, bolstered by orthogonal methodologies. First, we introduce a …

Active Internet measurements face challenges when some measurements require many
remote vantage points. In this paper, we propose a novel technique for measuring remote …

Since ZMap's debut in 2013, networking and security researchers have used the open-
source scanner to write hundreds of research papers that study Internet behavior. In …

Domain Name System (DNS) is a critical component of the Internet. DNS resolvers, which
act as the cache between DNS clients and DNS nameservers, are the central piece of the …

Amplification DDoS attacks remain a prevalent and serious threat to the Internet, with recent
attacks reaching the Tbps range. However, all amplification attack vectors known to date …
