On the Effectiveness of Probabilistic Packet Marking for IP Traceback Under Denial of Service Attack
Overview Effective mitigation of Denial of Service (DoS) attack is a pressing problem on the Internet. In many instances, DoS attacks can be prevented if the spoofed source IP address is traced back to its origin which allows assigning penalties to the offending party or isolating the compromised hosts and domains from the rest of the network. Recently IP traceback mechanisms based on Probabilistic Packet Marking (PPM) have been proposed for achieving traceback of DoS attacks. This paper shows that probabilistic packet marking - of interest due to its efficiency and implementability vis-a-vis deterministic packet marking and logging or messaging based schemes - suffers under spoofing of the marking field in the IP header by the attacker which can impede traceback by the victim.
