报告内容摘要： 

Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks typically exhaust bandwidth, processing capacity, or memory of a targeted machine, service or network. Despite enormous efforts in combating DDoS attacks in the past decade, DDoS attacks are still a serious threat to the security of cyberspace. In this talk I shall outline the recent efforts of my research group in traceback of DDoS attacks. In particular, this talk will concentrate on the following three critical issues related to DDoS attacks: (1) Traceback of DDoS attacks through flexible packet marking; (2) Traceback of DDoS attacks using Entropy Variations; and (3) Dealing with low-rate DDoS attacks and flash crowds. 

The talk will be based on the following papers:

报告人简介： 

Professor Wanlei Zhou received the B.Eng (Computer Science and Engineering) and M.Eng (Computer Science and Engineering) degrees from Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin, China in 1982 and 1984, respectively, and the PhD degree from The Australian National University, Canberra, Australia, in 1991. He also received a DSc degree (a higher Doctorate degree) from Deakin University in 2002 for his substantial contribution to knowledge and authoritative standing in the field of distributed computing. He is currently the Chair Professor in Information Technology and Head of School, School of Information Technology, Deakin University. Before joining Deakin University, Professor Zhou served as a system programmer in HP at Massachusetts, USA; a lecturer in Monash University, Melbourne, Australia; and a lecturer in National University of Singapore, Singapore. His research interests include theory and practical issues of building distributed systems, security and reliability of computer networks, bioinformatics, and e-learning. Professor Zhou has published more than 200 papers in refereed international journals and refereed international conferences proceedings. He has also chaired a number of international conferences. Prof Zhou is a Senior Member of the IEEE.
