Project publication · International Journal of Information Security
Summary
The work extends the Hypatia simulator to study LEO constellations under DoS and DDoS attacks, adding security scenarios on dynamic satellite networks.
Main contribution
The contribution brings into the simulation environment a class of attacks that is especially critical for low-Earth-orbit networks, where topology changes continuously and congestion points can move quickly.
Resultados y alcance
Los escenarios integrados permiten inyectar tráfico DoS y DDoS en topologías LEO dinámicas y observar su efecto sobre enlaces, colas y rutas. La extensión facilita estudios de resiliencia reproducibles, pero sus conclusiones dependen de los modelos de ataque, tráfico y constelación configurados en Hypatia.
Link with BoND1
BoND1 addresses advanced connectivity beyond conventional cellular networks. This publication reinforces the resilience dimension of the project by enabling the analysis of satellite infrastructure under malicious traffic and the design of more robust defense mechanisms.

Main contribution
The contribution consists of bringing to the simulation environment a class of attacks that is especially critical for low-orbit networks, where the topology changes continuously and congestion points can move quickly.
Results and scope
Integrated scenarios enable the injection of DoS and DDoS traffic into dynamic LEO topologies and observe their effect on links, queues, and routes. The extension facilitates reproducible resilience studies, but its conclusions depend on the attack, traffic, and constellation models configured in Hypatia.
Link with BoND1
BoND1 addresses advanced connectivity beyond conventional cellular networks. This publication reinforces the resilience dimension of the project, by allowing us to analyze how satellite infrastructures behave in the face of malicious traffic and how more robust defense mechanisms could be designed.
