Özet

The emergence of robotic technologies has made a significant contribution in industry. Robot Operating System (ROS) is becoming a standard framework for industrial systems uses as a middleware system with many versions. However, the initial design of ROS does not include cyber-security concepts. The intense interest in robot systems, the security concerns and vulnerabilities of these systems have started to attract the attention of attackers. One of these attacks is DoS attack that targeting system availability by slowing down or crashing a service rather than obtaining the information or system. In this study, the impact of DoS attack has been analyzed in various scenarios for both in application and transport layer of the ROS middleware. In the experiments four different volume of DoS attacks are performed in five different experiment scenarios on ROS. To understand the impact of DoS attack, network traffics are monitored using Tshark. The resulting effects measured with some Quality of Service parameters that are delay and packet loss.
