The widely acknowledged problem of reliably identifying the origin of information in cyberspace has been the subject of much research. Due to the nature of the Internet protocol, the source IP can be easily falsified which results in numerous problems including infamous denial of service attacks. The combination of smart devices with powerful processing capabilities once observed only in mainframe computers decades ago and the presence of the Internet which allows communications between all those devices exacerbate the problem. This paper proposes a novel technique called Session Based Logging (SBL) for simple and effective IP-Traceback and logging mechanism.
