Denial-of-Service Resilience in Peer-to-Peer File Sharing Systems
Overview Peer-to-Peer (p2p) file sharing systems are characterized by highly replicated content distributed among nodes with enormous aggregate resources for storage and communication. These properties alone are not sufficient, however, to render p2p networks immune to Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack. This paper studies, by means of analytical modeling and simulation, the resilience of p2p file sharing systems against DoS attacks, in which malicious nodes respond to queries with erroneous responses. The paper considers the file-targeted attacks in current use in the Internet, and introduces a new class of p2p-network-targeted attacks. In file-targeted attacks, the attacker puts a large number of corrupted versions of a single file on the network.
