先进计量基础设施(AMI)是智能电网的核心组件，具有高度复杂的网络配置。通过智能电表和公用事业公司之间的双向通信，AMI可靠而高效地共享有关消耗、停电和电价的信息。然而，通过网状网络连接的众多智能电表为攻击者干扰通信、危害公用事业资产或窃取客户私人信息提供了新的机会。本文提出了一种新的DoS攻击，称为木偶攻击，可以在AMI网络中导致拒绝服务。入侵者可以选择任何正常节点作为傀儡节点，并向该傀儡节点发送攻击包。当木偶节点收到这些攻击报文时，该节点就会被攻击者控制并泛洪更多的报文，从而耗尽网络通信带宽和节点能量。仿真结果表明，木偶攻击是一种严重的攻击，报文投递率下降到20%-10%。在分析了木偶攻击的基础上，提出了木偶攻击的检测和预防机制。仿真结果表明，木偶攻击造成的破坏与洪泛攻击相同，该方法能有效地防止木偶攻击。
Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is the core component in a smart grid that exhibits a highly complex network configuration. AMI shares information about consumption, outages, and electricity rates reliably and efficiently by bidirectional communication between smart meters and utilities. However, the numerous smart meters being connected through mesh networks open new opportunities for attackers to interfere with communications and compromise utilities assets or steal customers private information.In this paper, we present a new DoS attack, called puppet attack, which can result in denial of service in AMI network. The intruder can select any normal node as a puppet node and send attack packets to this puppet node. When the puppet node receives these attack packets, this node will be controlled by the attacker and flood more packets so as to exhaust the network communication bandwidth and node energy. Simulation results show that puppet attack is a serious and packet deliver rate goes down to 20–10%. After analyzing the puppet attack, we propose the detection and prevention mechanism. Simulations show that puppet attack causes the same damage as a flooding attack and the proposed method can prevent the puppet attack efficiently.
