Tracing Anonymous Packets to Their Approximate Source

EBook Description: One of the major problems on the Internet today is denial of service (DoS) attacks against machines and networks. As opposed to other types of attacks, DoS attacks attempt to limit access to a machine or service instead of subverting the service itself. DoS attacks are simple to design and implement, and there is a plethora of readily available source code which will perform the task. DoS attacks send a stream of packets at a victim that swamps his network or processing capacity, denying access to his regular clients.

Beej's Guide to Network Programming Using Internet Sockets

This document has been written as a tutorial, not a reference. It is probably at its best when read by individuals who are just starting out with socket programming and are looking for a foothold. It is certainly not the complete guide to sockets programming, by any means.

Winsock Programmer's FAQ

This FAQ answers the most commonly-asked questions on the alt.winsock.programming and comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.tools.winsock newsgroups. It also contains a repository of Winsock programming information and links useful for all levels of programmers. Please email me if you have any corrections or additions for the list.

Introduction to the Internet Protocols

This document is a brief introduction to TCP/IP, followed by advice on what to read for more information.

TCP/IP FAQ; Frequently Asked Questions

This is Part 1 of the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) list for the comp.protocols.tcp-ip Usenet newsgroup. The FAQ provides answers to a selection of common questions on the various protocols (IP, TCP, UDP, ICMP and others) that make up the TCP/IP protocol suite.

An Introduction to Socket Programming

These course notes are directed at Unix application programmers who want to develop client/server applications in the TCP/IP domain (with some hints for those who want to write UDP/IP applications). Since the Berkeley socket interface has become something of a standard these notes will apply to programmers on other platforms.
