Since the Morris worm was unleashed in 1988, Distributed Denial-Of-Service (DDoS) attacks via worms and viruses have continued to periodically disrupt the Internet. Client puzzles have been proposed as one mechanism for protecting protocols against denial of service attacks. This paper argues that such puzzles must be placed within the slim waistline of the TCP/IP protocol stack in order to truly provide protection. Then paper describes several scenarios in which TCP/IP puzzles could be used to thwart port scans and coordinated DDoS attacks. Finally, while puzzles hold the promise of being able to change the Internet landscape, it describes a large number of open research issues that must be resolved before such a vision can be achieved.
