Mirage: Defense against CrossPath Attacks in Software Defined Networks

arXiv:2403.02172v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The Software-Defined Networks (SDNs) face persistent threats from various adversaries that attack them using different methods to mount Denial of Service attacks. These attackers have different motives and follow diverse tactics to achieve their nefarious objectives. In this work, we focus on the impact of CrossPath attacks in SDNs and introduce our framework, Mirage, which not only detects but also mitigates this attack. Our framework, Mirage, detects SDN switches that become unreachable due to being …
