The shared nature of the medium in wireless networks makes it easy for an adversary to launch a Wireless Denial of Service (WDoS) attack. Recent studies, demonstrate that such attacks can be very easily accomplished using off-the-shelf equipment. To give a simple example, a malicious node can continually transmit a radio signal in order to block any legitimate access to the medium and/or interfere...

Monitoring network traffic and classifying applications are essential functions for network administrators. In this paper, we consider the use of traffic dispersion graphs (TDGs) to classify network traffic. Given a set of flows, a TDG is a graph with an edge between any two IP addresses that communicate; thus TDGs capture network-wide interactions. Using TDGs, we develop an application classification...

Monitoring network traffic and classifying applications are essential functions for network administrators. These tasks are becoming increasingly challenging since (a) many applications obfuscate their traffic using nonstandard ports, and (b) new applications constantly appear. This suggests the need for a behavioral-based approach, where the detector looks for fundamental behaviors of the application...

BitTorrent (BT) in the last years has been one of the most effective mechanisms for P2P content distribution. Although BT was created for distribution of time insensitive content, in this work we try to identify what are the minimal changes needed in the BT's mechanisms in order to support streaming. The importance of this capability is that the peer will now have the ability to start enjoying the...
