Abstract

By observing new trends in distributed reflection denial of service ( DRDoS) attacks, it is possible to highlight how they have adapted over the years to better match the attackers’ goals. However, the geolocation characteristics of this type of attack have not been widely explored in the literature and could show new information about these attacks. Considering this gap, we use data collected by honeypots over the last four years to better understand what can be gleaned from attacks targeted at different continents and countries. This dataset also enables us to investigate how attackers interact with reflectors, and how such interactions vary according to the location of victims.
