Uncovering Gaps Between RFC Updates and TCP/IP Implementations: LLM-Facilitated Differential Checks on Intermediate Representations
Yifan Wu, Xuewei Feng, Yuxiang Yang +1
As the core of the Internet infrastructure, the TCP/IP protocol stack undertakes the task of network data transmission. However, due to the complexity of the protocol and the uncer…
Off-Path TCP Exploits: PMTUD Breaks TCP Connection Isolation in IP Address Sharing Scenarios
Xuewei Feng, Zhaoxi Li, Qi Li +3
Path MTU Discovery (PMTUD) and IP address sharing are integral aspects of modern Internet infrastructure. In this paper, we investigate the security vulnerabilities associated with…
ReDAN: An Empirical Study on Remote DoS Attacks against NAT Networks
Xuewei Feng, Yuxiang Yang, Qi Li +6
In this paper, we conduct an empirical study on remote DoS attacks targeting NAT networks. We show that Internet attackers operating outside local NAT networks can remotely identif…
Exploiting Cross-Layer Vulnerabilities: Off-Path Attacks on the TCP/IP Protocol Suite
Xuewei Feng, Qi Li, Kun Sun +2
After more than 40 years of development, the fundamental TCP/IP protocol suite, serving as the backbone of the Internet, is widely recognized for having achieved an elevated level…
