Tiivistelmä
The goal of this project was to find out if it is possible to select a set of metrics available from networking equipment which could be used to detect known physical layer attacks on Ethernet networks.
The project was carried out in a laboratory environment on a testing topology which was designed specifically for the testing purposes of this project.
Known physical layer attacks on Ethernet networks were described in detail. A set of metrics which might be used for attack detection was suggested. All metric values were gathered on each link in a topology in a normal state and under each of the attacks. Effectiveness of the suggested metrics was analysed.
The project showed that it is possible to use metrics obtained from networking devices to detect known physical layer attacks on Ethernet networks.
