Conducting and Optimizing Eclipse Attacks in the Kad Peer-to-Peer Network
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Kad network is a structured P2P network used for file sharing. Research has proved that Sybil and Eclipse attacks have been possible in it until recently. However, the past attacks are prohibited by newly implemented security measures in the client applications. We present a new attack concept which overcomes the countermeasures and prove its practicability. Furthermore, we analyze the efficiency of our concept and identify the minimally required resources.

Poisoning the Kad Network
Since the demise of the Overnet network, the Kad network has become not only the most popular but also the only widely used peer-to-peer system based on a distributed hash table. It is likely that its user base will continue to grow in numbers over the next few years as, unlike the eDonkey network, it does not depend on central servers, which increases scalability and reliability. Moreover, the...
متن کاملeDonkey & eMule's Kad: Measurements & Attacks
This article reports on the results of our measurement study of the Kad network. Although several fully decentralized peer-to-peer systems have been proposed in the literature, most existing systems still employ a centralized architecture. The Kad network is a notable exception. Since the demise of the Overnet network, the Kad network has become the most popular peer-topeer system based on a di...
متن کاملAttacking the kad network - real world evaluation and high fidelity simulation using DVN
The Kad network, an implementation of the Kademlia DHT protocol, supports the popular eDonkey peer-to-peer file sharing network and has over 1 million concurrent nodes. We describe several attacks that exploit critical design weaknesses in Kad to allow an attacker with modest resources to cause a significant fraction of all searches to fail. We measure the cost and effectiveness of these attack...

متن کاملKadCache: Employing Kad to Mitigate Flash Crowds and Application Layer DDoS Attacks Against Web Servers
Flash crowds or application layer DDoS attacks can severely degrade the availability of websites. Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks have been exploited to amplify DDoS attacks, but we believe their available resource, such as distributed storage and network bandwidth, can be used to mitigate both flash crowds and DDoS attacks. In this poster, we propose a server initiated approach to employing the P2...
