Crown Firewall automatically shuts down infected PCs
European scientists have created a new system Diadem Firewall to stop DDoS-attacks. The system also provides for the automatic shutdown of those PCs from which “harmful” traffic is coming. It is assumed that all European Internet service providers will agree and install a new system.
The new development is called Diadem Firewall from the word "diadem" (crown, crown on the head of the monarch). After the installation and introduction of the "corona firewall" will be an effective means to stop the DDoS-attacks, from which until now there was no absolutely reliable protection.
As you know, during DDoS-attacks, the load on servers and communication channels increases many times. This is due to the fact that hundreds and thousands of remote computers simultaneously begin to send requests to this server. In such attacks, home computers are often involved in unsuspecting users who did not notice how a virus penetrated their system. In this case, the source of the attack (the source of the spread of the virus) is difficult to detect.
Nowadays, DDoS attacks are commonly used to blackmail, most often blackmail casino sites, porn sites and online stores. A ransom is extorted from them, threatening otherwise to renew the attack on a larger scale. Millions of unprotected computers connected to the Internet via broadband channels are fertile ground for DDoS attacks.

"Crown firewall" provides for the installation of hardware and software, writes Infoworld. A distinctive feature is that specialized equipment is installed not inside the provider’s network, but at its border. To detect an attack, the system uses data filtering techniques and special early detection technologies, after which it automatically responds to the attack in accordance with the specified rules. The list of rules is created and edited by the administrator. For example, the system may automatically disconnect from the network the computer inside the network, which abruptly began to generate too much outgoing traffic with requests to the remote server.
The Diadem Firewall project was launched in 2004, and its developers received a grant of € 3 million from the European Union. By itself, the “corona firewall” is not a single product, but is a whole set of relevant technologies that can be applied in a variety of ways. These are systems for high-speed traffic analysis, advanced intrusion detection algorithms and an automatic response rule system - all of them are ready for use. France Telecom and Polish Telecom, the largest European providers, are ready to start testing this September.
According to the developers, the use of Diadem Firewall will allow Internet service providers to better control the situation in their networks. Now they can guarantee their hosting clients that their servers do not undergo DDoS attacks, and also guaranteed to stop traffic from infected user PCs.
