Ontological approach provides us with the way to store the information that can be gained from the attack graph in a structured form. Ontology is made of entities and their interrelationships. The entities are defined as follows:Machine: Any host machine connected to the network comes in the category. All the workstations and the servers that the attacker can use to his advantage will be called as a machine. Vulnerability: Any weakness in the

We have devised a method of incrementally upgrading the network infrastructure at the transport level that solves the above problems and makes the network significantly more resilient to attacks‚ particularly the DDoS attack. The approach uses "hardened routers"‚ routers that can do simple
