Abstract

For each domain of an organization a corresponding IP address is identified. For each corresponding IP address, its registration, ownership information, and/or the corresponding media access control (MAC). Optionally, whether the IP address is allocated to an existing host is determined. For each IP address, address allocation requests are repeatedly sent until the IP address of interest is allocated in response to one of the requests. Alternatively, an API reporting the address is available is queried to determine whether the IP address of interest is currently allocated or available for allocation. As a result, cloud service providers can mitigate the vulnerability by reserving the IP address and notifying the domain owners of potential risks.
