Stop DDoS Attacking the Research Community with AI-Generated Survey Papers
Survey papers are foundational to the scholarly progress of research communities, offering structured overviews that guide both novices and experts across disciplines. However, the recent surge of AI-generated surveys, especially enabled by large language models (LLMs), has transformed this traditionally labor-intensive genre into a low-effort, high-volume output. While such automation lowers entry barriers, it also introduces a critical threat: the phenomenon we term the "survey paper DDoS att…

"This series is the result of careful analysis of UDP stack, to optimize the receive side, especially when under one or several UDP sockets are receiving a DDOS attack.
"I have measured a 47 % increase of throughput when using IPv6 UDP packets with 120 bytes of payload, under DDOS."

GNN-enhanced Traffic Anomaly Detection for Next-Generation SDN-Enabled Consumer Electronics
Consumer electronics (CE) connected to the Internet of Things are susceptible to various attacks, including DDoS and web-based threats, which can compromise their functionality and facilitate remote hijacking. These vulnerabilities allow attackers to exploit CE for broader system attacks while enabling the propagation of malicious code across the CE network, resulting in device failures. Existing deep learning-based traffic anomaly detection systems exhibit high accuracy in traditional network …

The Virginia Community College System (#AS22845) had long been announcing two IPv4 prefixes, a /16 and a /24. Most of the /16 has now been disaggregated.
A variety of explanations could account for such a major change, such as:
1. Operational mistake
2. Prelude to re-allocate or transfer
3. Traffic engineering
4. DDoS mitigation

Hybrid Deep Learning-Federated Learning Powered Intrusion Detection System for IoT/5G Advanced Edge Computing Network
The exponential expansion of IoT and 5G-Advanced applications has enlarged the attack surface for DDoS, malware, and zero-day intrusions. We propose an intrusion detection system that fuses a convolutional neural network (CNN), a bidirectional LSTM (BiLSTM), and an autoencoder (AE) bottleneck within a privacy-preserving federated learning (FL) framework. The CNN-BiLSTM branch captures local and gated cross-feature interactions, while the AE emphasizes reconstruction-based anomaly sensitivity. T…
