Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks has become more and more frequent nowadays. In 2013, a massive DDoS attack was launched against Spamhaus, a non-profit anti-spam mail organization. Up to 75Gbps of DNS reflection traffic were directed to Spamhaus′ servers, causing the service to shut down.
Although DDoS has been long around ever since the internet has become popular, no good solutions has been offered yet.
In this paper, we present a solution based on TCP redirection using TCP header options. When a legitimate client attempted to connect to a server undergoing an SYN-flood DDoS attack, it will try to initiate a TCP three-way handshake, after it has successfully established a connection, the server will reply with a RST packet, which a new server address and a secret is embedded in the TCP header options. The client can thus connect to the new server that only accepts SYN packets with the corrected secret using the supplied secret. |
