Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for detecting cache-poisoning attacks in networks using SDPs may include maintaining a cache of service information that identifies services provided by client devices connected to a network using an SDP. The method may also include detecting a cache-poisoning attack by (1) receiving, from a client device connected to the network, an SDP message related to a service allegedly provided via the network, (2) identifying, within the SDP message, an attribute of the service allegedly provided via the network, and then (3) determining that the client device is attempting to corrupt the cache of service information by determining that the identified attribute of the service suggests that the service is illegitimate. Finally, the method may include performing a security action to mitigate the cache-poisoning attack in response to detecting the cache-poisoning attack. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for detecting rogue client devices connected to wireless hotspots may include maintaining at least one illegitimate authentication identifier that appears to rogue client devices to facilitate authentication with an external network via a wireless hotspot. The method may also include providing the illegitimate authentication identifier to one or more client devices connected to the wireless hotspot. The method may further include receiving an authentication request to authenticate the client device with at least one external network via the wireless hotspot. The method may additionally include determining that the authentication request includes the illegitimate authentication identifier. Finally, the method may include determining that the client device is a rogue device based at least in part on the illegitimate authentication identifier being included in the authentication request. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract:
A method includes receiving network information for calculating weighted round-robin (WRR) weights, calculating WRR weights associated with queues based on the network information, and determining whether a highest common factor (HCF) exists in relation to the calculated WRR weights. The method further includes reducing the calculated WRR weights in accordance with the HCF, when it is determined that the HCF exists, and performing a WRR scheduling of packets, stored in the queues, based on the reduced WRR weights.
