PTI: Expose The Location Through IP Traceback Algorithm

It is long known attackers may utilize fashioned source IP location to cover their real areas. To capture the
spoofers, various IP traceback mechanisms have been proposed. however, However, due to the challenges of
deployment, there has been not a widely adopted IP traceback solution, at least at the Internet level. As a result, the mist
on the locations of spoofers has never been dissipated till now. This paper proposes passive IP traceback (PIT) that
bypasses the deployment difficulties of IP traceback techniques. PIT investigates Internet Control Message Protocol
error messages (named path backscatter) triggered by spoofing traffic, and tracks the spoofers based on public available
information (e.g., topology).Along these lines, PIT can discover the spoofers with no arrangement necessity. This paper
represents the reasons, accumulation, and the factual results on way backscatter, exhibits the procedures and adequacy
of PIT, and demonstrates the caught areas of spoofers through applying PIT on the way backscatter information set.
These results can help further reveal IP spoofing, which has been studied for long but never well understood. Though
PIT cannot work in all the spoofing attacks, it may be the most useful mechanism to trace spoofers before an Internetlevel traceback system has been deployed in real.
