Course Description

Overview

Explore the operation of a DDoS honeypot in this 19-minute conference talk from USENIX Enigma 2017. Damian Menscher, a Security Reliability Engineer at Google, discusses how botnet growth enables DDoS attacks to outpace Moore's Law and presents novel attack styles that create additional challenges for defenders. Learn about the limited technical information shared by most defenders regarding attacks, often restricted to exaggerated bandwidth estimates. Discover the proposed solution of information gathering through a DDoS honeypot - a victim site designed to attract interesting attacks. Gain insights from the findings of operating KrebsOnSecurity.com as a honeypot, and understand the importance of sharing detailed attack information to improve overall cybersecurity defenses.
