TraceDoS: A GUI Simulator for Denial of Service (DoS) Attack Traceback

A graphical simulator that simulates well know DoS traceback algorithms. The tool's intended uses are:

• research use - to generate random topologies, simulate DoS attacks and evaluate the performances of well known traceback algorithms, and plot performance results.
• pedagogical use - to create user defined topology graphically, interactive feature to change network parameters, simulate DoS attacks and visualization of the traceback results.

Features:

• graphical front end
• random topology generator
• implements well known traceback algorithms
• batch and interactive simulation capabilities
• graphical topology editor
• graphical performance plots
• file management tools
