Bandwidth, computing power, and software advancements have empowered hackers to quickly scan for and exploit services across the Internet. While this is a major issue, it does allow researchers to track criminal activity with strategically placed honeypots that lure and trap criminals, allowing organizations to put that information to use improving network security. This talk will outline how to use DDoS vulnerable services to develop a honeypot network that will extract valuable information from the Internet and produce a data feed that can be used to protect online assets with kibana, elasticsearch, logstash, and AMQP.
As A10 Networks’ Principal Research Scientist, Terrence Gareau leads the company’s security engineering and response team tasked with providing A10 customers in-depth DDoS research and advisories they require to continually improve their network security defenses.
