An Effective Method for Defense against IP Spoofing Attack

With the wide usage of internet in many fields, networks are being exposed to many security threats, such as distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack, worm/virus, and so on. So prevention failure of network security leads to the revealing of information or interruption of network services, thereby results in the enormous economic loss. In this paper, we propose an effective method for defense against IP spoofing attack, which is based on traceroute and the cooperation with trusted adjacent nodes. We present the results of the experiment, compare the method with others. The result demonstrates that the method can effectively and steadily detect the IP spoofing attack, thereby blocks it.
