Comprehensive Analysis: Mitigating IP Spoofing, ARP & DoS Attacks

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of network security threats, focusing on IP spoofing, ARP poisoning, and Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. It details the techniques used in these attacks, such as utilizing Ubuntu for IP spoofing and exploiting ARP cache poisoning. The report offers practical recommendations for mitigating each type of attack, including packet filtering, avoiding trust relationships, using spoof detection software, and applying cryptographic network protocols to prevent IP spoofing. For ARP poisoning, the report suggests ARP authentication, operating system patching, dynamic ARP inspection, and ARP mitigation tools. Mitigation strategies for DoS attacks include access control lists, rate limiting, and utilizing command-line tools with SSH protocols. The report also emphasizes the importance of network monitoring tools like Wireshark and performance analysis using Apache benchmarking tools to maintain network integrity. Desklib provides access to this and other solved assignments for students.
