Attacking software-defined networks

2013 Proceedings of the second ACM SIGCOMM workshop on Hot topics in software defined networking - HotSDN '13  
In this paper, for the first time we show a new attack to fingerprint SDN networks and further launch efficient resource consumption attacks. This attack demonstrates that SDN brings new security issues that may not be ignored. We provide the first feasibility study of such attack and hope to stimulate further studies in SDN security research.
