Presented at enigma 2017 by

Botnet growth allows DDoS attacks to outpace Moore's Law, and novel attack styles create additional challenges.

We propose information gathering via the operation of a DDoS honeypot -- a victim site likely to attract interesting attacks -- and present our findings from the operation of KrebsOnSecurity.com.
