A Precise Termination Condition of the
Probabilistic Packet Marking Algorithm

(Synopsis)
Scope

This project will applicable in secured data sharing in the
structured network.

Introduction
THE denial-of-service (DoS) attack has been a pressing
problem in recent years. DoS defense research has blossomed into one
of the main streams in network security. Various techniques such as
the pushback message, ICMP traceback, and the packet filtering
techniques are the results from this active field of research. The
probabilistic packet marking (PPM) algorithm by Savage et al.

has

attracted the most attention in contributing the idea of IP traceback.
The most interesting point of this IP traceback approach is that it
allows routers to encode certain information on the attack packets
based on a predetermined probability. Upon receiving a sufficient
number of marked packets, the victim (or a data collection node) can
construct the set of paths that the attack packets traversed and,
hence, the victim can obtain the location(s) of the attacker(s).
The Probabilistic Packet Marking Algorithm The goal of the PPM
algorithm is to obtain a constructed graph such that the constructed
graph is the same as the attack graph, where an attack graph is the
set of paths the attack packets traversed, and a constructed graph is a
graph returned by the PPM algorithm. To fulfill this goal, Savage et al.
Suggested a method for encoding the information of the edges of the
attack graph into the attack packets through the cooperation of the
routers in the attack graph and the victim site. Specifically, the PPM
algorithm is made up of two separated procedures: the packet
marking procedure, which is executed on the router side, and the
graph reconstruction procedure, which is executed on the victim side.
The packet marking procedure is designed to randomly encode
edges’ information on the packets arriving at the routers. Then, by
using the information, the victim executes the graph reconstruction
procedure to construct the attack graph. We first briefly review the
packet marking procedure so that readers can become familiar with
how the router marks information on the packets

Existing System: In the existing system PPM algorithm is not perfect, as its
termination condition is not well defined.
 The algorithm requires prior knowledge about the network
topology.
 In packet marking algorithm the Termination Packet
Number(TPN) calculation is not well defined in the literature.
 In the existing system it only supports the single attacker
environment.
Dis-Advantages of Existing System
 Without proper termination condition the attack
constructed by the PPM algorithm would be wrong.

 The constructed path and the re-construction will be differed.
 It won’t support the multiple attacker environments.
Proposed System: To propose termination condition of the PPM algorithm, this is
missing or is not explicitly defined in the literature.
 Through the new termination condition, the user of the new
algorithm is free to determine the correctness of the constructed
graph.
 The constructed graph is guaranteed to reach the correctness
assigned by the user, independent of the marking probability
and the structure of the underlying network graph.
 In this system we proposed a Rectified Probabilistic Packet
Marking Algorithm to encode the packet in the routers to detect
the attacked packets.
 To reduce the a constructed graph such that the constructed
graph is the same as the attack graph, where an attack graph is
the set of paths the attack packets traversed,
 To construct a graph, is a graph returned by the PPM algorithm.

 It supports multiple attacker environments.
 The rectified packet marking algorithm gives the exact attack
graph.
 In this system it trace out the hackers host-id.

Module Description
Path Construction
In this module the path will be constructed which the data
packets should traverse. This path should be dynamically changed in
case of traffic and failure in router.
Packet marking procedure
In this module, each packet will be marked with random
values. These values are encoded and its appended in the start or in
the edge of the packets. These values are checked by the packet
marking procedure.
Router maintenance
In this module the router availability will be checked
depends upon the router availability the path will be constructed.
TPN Generation
In this module the encoded values in the packet are
retrieved and it’s decoded and checked with the generated code.
Re-Construction Path
In this module the path will be re-constructed with the
received packets its validated with the constructed path.
