Lecture 27: Internet Measurement CS 765: Complex Networks
Traffic Measurements • Monitoring and measuring network traffic • to produce better models of network behavior • to diagnose failures and detect anomalies • to defend against unwanted traffic • Live weather map • Internernet2 • PlanetLab
A Census of the Internet Address Space http://www.isi.edu/ant/address/browse/
Code-Red Worm • On July 19, 2001, more than 359,000 computers connected to the Internet were infected with the Code-Red (CRv2) worm in less than 14 hours • Spread
Sapphire Worm • was the fastest computer worm in history • doubled in size every 8.5 seconds • infected more than 90 percent of vulnerable hosts within 10 minutes.
Witty Worm • reached its peak activity after approximately 45 minutes • at which point the majority of vulnerable hosts had been infected • World • USA
Nyxem Email Virus • Estimate of total number of infected computers is between 470K and 945K • At least 45K of the infected computers were also compromised by other forms of spyware or botware • Spread
Scam Hosting • Study dynamics of scam hosting infrastructure
Sipscan scan • a botnet-orchestrated stealth scan of the entire IPv4 address space • during 31 Jan - 12 Feb 2011 • originated from ~3 million IP addresses • heavily coordinated • unusually covert scanning strategy • to discover and compromise VoIP-related (SIP server) infrastructure http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6MRlEJeD8M
Anonymizer Usage • Anonymity network usage analysis • 205 million packets • about 1.44TB data • Analyzed Anonymity Networks
Host Classification Client vs Server Personal vs Public Web vs Email Server Two Colleges
Measurement Studies • Glasnost • tests whether BitTorrent is being blocked or throttled • BW-meter • Measurement tools for the capacity and load of Internet paths • NPAD Diagnostics Servers • Automatic diagnostic server for troubleshooting end-systems and last-mile network problems • iPlane • construct a router interface-level atlas of the Internet • measuring link attributes • Hubble • find persistent Internet black holes as they occur
Measurement Studies • Japanese ISP traffic • http://www.caida.org/tools/visualization/cuttlefish/pics/japan-traces.gif • DNS workload • http://www.caida.org/research/dns/cl/animated_maps/images/cl-worldmap.animated.queries.gif • Egypt Internet Blackout • http://www.caida.org/publications/papers/2013/coordinated_view_internet_events/supplemental/egypt.composite.mp4 • http://youtu.be/4Khc0XgvdbM • http://youtu.be/YWXgWfNxR9Q
Internet Measurements • The Internet is man-made, so why do we need to measure it? • Because we still don’t really understand it • Sometimes things go wrong • Malicious users • Measurement for network operations • Detecting and diagnosing problems • What-if analysis of future changes • Measurement for scientific discovery • Creating accurate models that represent reality • Identifying new features and phenomena
