Abstract

Prior research on active networks has outlined avision of broad applicability.We present rationale andtechniques for applying active network concepts andtechnology to the automated intrusion response problemdomain, and in particular, automated defense againstdistributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks.We describeour experience exploring these ideas via prototypingusing the Secure ANTS execution environment in adeployment scenario that requires active programs tomigrate across network administration boundaries.Fromthis experience, observations are drawn on the suitabilityof active networks for this problem domain.
