Abstract: |
PXE protocol is a popular remote boot protocol nowadays. The designers focus mainly on the simplicity and convenience of the PXE protocol, but they take less consideration on security issues. There maybe some hidden risks of PXE, so the network attack to PXE is possible to happen. One possible attack approach against the PXE protocol is introduced in this paper. Firstly, the attack principle is stated. Secondly, the simulation process of the attack is described, and the possible results are analyzed. Finally, the protection strategies dealing with such kind of attack method are proposed on the basis of analyzing the potential attacks.
