Two topology attacks The first attack as we mentioned, Host Location Hijacking Attack, is to send a fake request that the target host migrates to a new location trying to intercept packets and connections to the target host. This attack uses the weakness of the host tracking service that the controller simply follows the latest Packet-in message and does not check the identity of the request.…

    1) Eavesdropping: It can be defined as secretly listening to the private conversation of others without their consent. Here an attacker can choose to passively eavesdrop on the network communication and steal the data. Through passive eavesdropping attackers apparently eliminate their presence in the network and make such attacks difficult to detect. The goal of such an attack is to violate the confidentiality of the communications by intercepting the network and sniffing or listening to the routing packets. Also, an adversary can actively influence the communication channel by disrupting, jamming or modifying the network packets and/or inserting false packets into the network.…

    ¨Usually law enforcement agencies collect data on a suspect after they have been identified. This often resulted in missed opportunities, lost lives, just paving the way for only more destruction. But what if data could be collected in advance, before the suspect was even known? What if just the act of collecting data could result in the identification of completely new suspects? More than a few have pondered this question, just days after the Sept. 11th attacks on New York and the Pentagon, John Yoo, the Justice Department lawyer at the time, wrote an internal memo that argued that the government should use "electronic surveillance techniques and equipment that are more powerful and sophisticated than those available to law enforcement agencies…
