SIMULATION OF METAROUTER VIRTUAL NETWORK TO DETECT DENIAL OF SERVICE ATTACKS USING WIRESHARK

Abstract

In its daily application, computer network users feel the need to increase the number of routers in order to have full direct access, or require a large number of routers.With technological advances, currently there is MikroTik MetaRouter technology. MikroTik MetaRouter is a feature provided by MikroTik, which is a virtual router that makes users feel like they have an additional router by using virtualization techniques in it. Denial of Service attacks are attacks that are often carried out against sites, devices or servers. Therefore, in this study, a Denial of Service attack simulation on MetaRouter was carried out using the ICMP protocol and live forensics methods, and assisted by the Wireshark application to record data packets on the network. The purpose of this study is to simulate attacks, obtain data as evidence, and overcome denial of service attacks on MetaRouter. The results of the attack simulation test are evidence, among others, the increase in Torch Running, Activity Logs, and IP Address Lists. This attack simulation was successfully carried out with changes or improvements in data communication which caused the network to go down.Keywords: Wireshark, Denial of Service, MikroTik MetaRouter
