An Indigenous Solution for SYN Flooding
Abstract
SYN flooding is one of the most challenging problems that many networks applications face,
particularly those that are security-related. Disrupting a server's daily function and assigning it to
other tasks leaves it a constantly busy server that processes little usable data. In this research, a
comprehensive INDIGSOL approach is demonstrated that not only detects SYN flooding but also
prevents the attacker(s) from making such attempts in the future. The designed approach has four
modules such as node registration and validation, packet capturing, dynamic check system, and hook
activation. The approach is further checked and compared with some state-of-the-art baselines on
various parameters like detection time, response/processing time, and number of malicious packets
detection. It is observed that INDIGSOL performed better than other baselines with an average
accuracy of 99% malicious packet detection in six scenarios along with 13.4% faster detection time
and 11.2% faster response/processing time. Overall, the provided solution is scalable, robust, and
highly accurate that prevents SYN flooding in a timely manner.
