It is difficult to estimate how much more the Internet will impact modern society. The use of this ubiquitous computing and communication platform to provide instant worldwide communication, increase business productivity, create more effective markets, and overcome geographical boundaries, is only now starting to be fully appreciated. Unfortunately, all of the benefits mentioned above, and the potential for any future benefits, are at risk of being lost due to security vulnerabilities. Cybercriminals and cyberterrorists, including both state-sponsored and individual, are attacking computing and networking systems at an increasing rate. And all individuals, corporations and governments who utilize these systems are at risk. This chapter provides a survey of this electronic information battlefield. This survey differs from others in that it presents common categories of attacks from the perspective of the TCP/IP protocol stack layers. By presenting categories of attacks by protocol layer, one may focus on the nature of the vulnerabilities, rather than become mired in the minutiae. After presenting categories of attacks, an overview of the techniques that has been created to defend against the various attack categories is presented. |
