ABSTRACT
Computation model has experienced a significant change since the emergence of the
computer networks, which brought us much benefit that is difficult or even impossible to
achieve by the traditional centralized system, such as resource sharing, high reliability,
better price/performance ratio, and so on. Meanwhile, there also come many potential
threats to the network community like unauthorized access to private information,
malicious break-in to other organizations’ systems, or intent to render a system to make
it unreliable or unusable. Network attacks generally adopt computer networks as
transportation media to convey the intrusion or even attack the communication system
itself. We will put our focus mainly on the network attacks happened around the TCP/IP
(Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) protocol suite, which is the most
widely used communication protocol and the de facto standard among the Internet
society.
