Day 70 Part 2 : Getting MVP ready for ML part

Todo for this week,

> Getting a basic ML DDoS detection algorithm up and running

The features extracted so far,
1. Total Inflow Packets
2. Average Number of inflow packets (Total/Number of flows)
3. Total Number of flows
4. Total Packet length
5. Average packet length (Total/Number of packets)

 Machine Learning algorithm at focus : K means clustering

 How will the ML algo fit into the project?

Day 12: Master Slave SDN Controller Architecture

In the previous post, I was struggling to figure out why all controllers can install flows in all switches irrespective of the code. Well, today the mystery is getting resolved. I found this book that explains beautifully the various roles that a controller can play. The three roles are: Equal : this happens by default all the equal controllers in a network that are connected to the switch can add and delete flows from it Slave: it has a read-only limitation to the switch openflow tables Master: very similar to the switch, but only 1 master can be connected to the switch at that point of time, and no other flows can intercept the communication between switch and master. I highly recommend you go through the above link to get a better picture. Since the default role of any controller is "Equal", we couldn't really differentiate between the three controller flows yesterday. But one good news from this is that we don't really need extensive coding to assi...

Day 50: Tcpreplay and tcpliveplay approach

Today we shall be exploring how to copy and redirect the OpenFlow packets to more than one controller from the load balancer. The load balancer is anyway sending the OpenFlow packets to one of the slave controllers - c1 or c2. The packets sent to these two controllers needs to be sent to master controller so the master controller can update the new flows added by c1 or c2 on the switches. This ensures synchronization between controllers. There are two implementation methods to achieve the same: Copy all packets generated from the load balancer to the controller side. Only the packets having destination IP address of c1 and c2 can be redirected to the master controller. Thus we can prevent the packets which already are reaching the master controller to be sent as duplicates Copy and redirect packets from the slave controllers - c1 and c2. We need not take care of duplicate packets reaching master controller. This will reduce the time taken to redirect packets. Since the second a...

Day 1: Understanding Ransomware and how to detect them?

Image
To start this journey, let’s begin at the basics and learn about what ransomwares are, what is the meaning of a ransomware attack, how have other people detected it so far? By learning the above, we will be in a position to analyze any ransomware attack and devise methods to detect, mitigate and prevent them. Definition: Ransomware is a type of malicious software from cryptovirology that threatens to publish the victim's data or perpetually block access to it unless a ransom is paid. To continue understanding and addressing the threats posed by ransomware, let us dig a little deeper. As the definition specifies, ransomware is a type of malicious software. Now, what is a malicious software? Definition: Malware (= Malicious + Software) is a software which is specifically designed to disrupt, damage, or gain authorized access to a computer system. These malwares (or simply dangerous content that can corrupt your system), can enter your system from various s...
