Evaluating Susceptibility of VPN Implementations to DoS Attacks Using Adversarial Testing. (arXiv:2110.00407v2 [cs.CR] UPDATED)

Many systems today rely heavily on virtual private network (VPN) technology
to connect networks and protect their services on the Internet. While prior
studies compare the performance of different implementations, they do not
consider adversarial settings. To address this gap, we evaluate the resilience
of VPN implementations to flooding-based denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. We
focus on a class of stateless flooding attacks, which are particularly
threatening to real connections, as they can be carried out by an off-path
attacker using spoofed …
