[AusNOG] Botnets, DDoS and Ground-Truth -- A Look at 5, 000 Confirmed Attacks (NANOG) [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Wilkinson, Alex]

"In this talk, we present detailed, quantitative data on 5,000 operator
 confirmed (via manual classification) network infrastructure attacks over
 the last year across 37 carriers. We explore the magnitude, frequency and
 characterize both the attack vectors and victims. Previously, most data on
 carrier security trends has come from qualitative vendor surveys (e.g.
 Cisco, Arbor, etc). We believe this talk represents the first large scale
 study of validated (i.e. "ground-truth") botnet and DDoS attacks. We
 conclude with estimates of botnet size and efficacy."
