Vindictive IP Trackback: Revealing the Area of IP Spoofers with Efficient Tracking

In IP spoofing attack, malicious node disguise their real location from victim nodes using fake IP (Internet Protocol) address, which is a major disadvantage in present internet architecture. This crime in the internet is controlled by deploying the technology named as Internet Protocol (IP) trackback technique. This project primarily focuses on IP spoofing attack, which is among one of the Denial of Service (DoS) attack. IP spoofing attack is one among the challenging issue in the internet. This trackback technique proposes a novel features to track the origin of spoofers with best tracking performance than existing techniques, as an enhancement to existing trackback techniques. Analysis of simulation results and implementation of real time system, illustrates that this IP trackback needs to add very small amount of packets, which would load the routers moderately to accomplish the objective of tracking to detect the spoofers in a vast internet. The enhanced system IP trackback mechanism achieves the objective of accomplishing best possible results on trackback although when router is loaded at its maximum. DDoS defence motivates this trackback technique.
