Abstract

This study is conducted to discover the solution for the problem IPv6 transition mechanism is exploited as attack medium. The usage of transition mechanism allows Denial of Service attacks to bypass currently deployed security layers. The transition mechanism focused in this study is 6to4 tunnelling where IPv6 packet is encapsulated into IPv4. The solution proposed in this study is to develop an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) that is capable of detecting attacks in transition mechanism. In order to successfully develop the IDS, the first step involve identifying the possible threats in the transition mechanism. Subsequently, the identified threat is used as reference to develop the IDS. A test bed is also designed in this study to test the effectiveness of IDS developed. Besides, published information regarding topics and problems related to this project reviewed and discussed in this study. Previous research related to the topic is studied and used as a reference in this study. The project methodology used in this study is prototyping in which preliminary version of the end product is developed and tested. Changes and improvement is incorporated until the final product is achieved. The study carried out successfully and the outcome of this study is the development of an Intrusion Detection System that is capable of detecting attacks that is channelled into the tunnel of IPv6 transition mechanism.
