Understanding distributed denial of service with object oriented simulation

Published: 19 March 2009 Publication History

Abstract

Object-oriented modeling and simulation enhance the study and understanding of the general behavior of attacks in networks, specifically Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS). This paper presents a simulation model of a DDoS attack on a network and with it attempts to show the value of object-oriented modeling and simulation to study various aspects of network security.
The DDoS network simulation model is implemented in the OOSimL simulation language. Other network models have been implemented in Java with the PsimJ2 and C++ using the Psim3 simulation package.
The development of the DDoS simulation model mentioned previously is part of the OOPsim Project. One of the goals of this project is to develop new simulation tools and approaches for education, the Object Oriented Simulation Language, OOSimL, was developed with this goal. Another goal is to construct a multi-disciplinary repository of computational models and resources that help educate students of computer science, software engineering, information technology, and related disciplines, in modeling various aspects of information security.
