Non-Trivial Off-Path Network Measurements Without Shared Side-Channel Resource Exhaustion, Geoffrey I. Alexander
Non-Trivial Off-Path Network Measurements Without Shared Side-Channel Resource Exhaustion, Geoffrey I. Alexander
Computer Science ETDs
Most traditional network measurement scans and attacks are carried out through the use of direct, on-path network packet transmission. This requires that a machine be on-path (i.e, involved in the packet transmission process) and as a result have direct access to the data packets being transmitted. This limits network scans and attacks to situations where access can be gained to an on-path machine. If, for example, a researcher wanted to measure the round trip time between two machines they did not have access to, traditional scans would be of little help as they require access to an on-path machine to …
