************************************************* DIMACS Workshop on Large-Scale Internet Attacks September 23 - 24, 2003 DIMACS Center, Rutgers University, Piscataway, NJ
Organizers: Vern Paxson, ICSI, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Steve Bellovin, AT&T Research, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Stuart Staniford, Silicon Defense Stefan Savage, University of California, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Presented under the auspices of the Special Focus on Communication Security and Information Privacy. ************************************************ As the Internet has grown greatly in size, new forms of attacks that leverage the network's increasing scale have gained prominence. At the same time, the network's scale also often increases the difficulty of countering attacks, making it more difficult to trace back attackers or deploy widespread defensive measures. This workshop aims to assess the lay of the land in terms of large-scale Internet attacks and then to look for principles common to the problem domain. The focus will be on three general types of large-scale attacks: distributed denial-of-service (DDOS), self-propagating malicious code (worms), and attacks targetting the network's components (infrastructure attacks). Participation in the workshop is quite limited because of the emphasis on achieving a high degree of interactivity & discussion. Potential attendees interested in participating should contact the organization chair at [EMAIL PROTECTED], including a description of relevant background and the specific topic(s) of interest for discussion & exploration. ************************************************ Workshop Program: Preliminary Program for DIMACS Workshop on Large-Scale Attacks IMPORTANT: the workshop is meant to be a true workshop, in which the actual program is fluid, and the emphasis is on interactivity and incubating new connections (both between people and across areas). We anticipate last-minute changes, and indeed may alter the program on the spot as discussion and opportunity suggests.
