Abstract

With the wide deployment of P2P networks, the attacks against them have been attracting more and more attention. However, studies on security problems in P2P network mainly focus on individual attack. We still lack systemic analysis of attacks in P2P network. Understanding the taxonomy and the relationships between attacks will help to build the security mechanism and effectively organize the defense system. In this paper, we pursue an in-depth study on existing security problems in P2P networks. Taxonomy of P2P attacks is proposed. Then relationships between attacks are analyzed. Finally, based on the taxonomy, characters of DOS/DDOS attacks in P2P network is illustrated.
