ISG.EE would like to invite you to 3 presentations on current topics in network security and measurement by David Moore, Colleen Shannon, and Tobias Oetiker.
The talks will be held on Monday 18th August 2003, 10am - 12am Auditorium VAW B1 at ETH Zurich, Gloriastr. 35/37 (No registration needed) Abstracts: * Network Telescopes: Assessing Global Internet Security Threats. Network telescopes provide the unique ability to see large-scale globally-dispersed network security events, such as denial-of-service attacks and the spread of Internet worms. A network telescope is a portion of routed IP address space with little or no legitimate traffic. By monitoring unexpected traffic arriving at a telescope, we can determine remote victims of DoS or hosts infected by a worm. More than 100 distributed denial-of-service attacks are occurring on average every minute of every day. Highly infectious Internet worms have become prevalent: in August 2001, CodeRed infected 360,000 machines in 10 hours. In January 2003, Sapphire/SQL Slammer infected over 75,000 machines in ten minutes. This talk covers trends in DoS attacks and victims over the past 2 years, as well as the spread dynamics of the Code-Red, CodeRedII and SQL Slammer/Sapphire worms. * CAIDA, the Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis. CAIDA, provides tools and analyses promoting the engineering and maintenance of a robust, scalable global Internet infrastructure. This talk will present the activities of CAIDA and present some of the tools developed there that might be useful for others as well. * Pinging with Style, about SmokePing and RRDtool When I want to see if a machine is up and its network connection ok, I send it a ping. If I want to keep a close watch on the machine and its link, I keep sending it pings. If I grow tired, waching the roundtrip times and the increassing sequence nubmers on screen, I might want to employ a program to organize the ping sending, as well as keeping the results handy for later. This is where SmokePing comes in. It lets you keep track of many network links and machines, tracking the results graphically and sending alerts when certain conditions are met.
