- Description
- On a daily basis many of the hosts connected to the Internet experi-ence continuous probing and attack from malicious entities. Detection and defence from these malicious entities has primarily been the con-cern of Intrusion Detection Systems, Intrusion Prevention Systems and Anti-Virus software. These systems rely heavily on known signatures to detect nefarious traffic. Due to the reliance on known malicious signa-tures, these systems have been at a serious disadvantage when it comes to detecting new, never before seen malware. This paper will introduce Tartarus which is a malware tracking and mitigation frame-work that makes use of honeypot technology in order to detect mali-cious traffic. Tartarus implements a dynamic quarantine technique to mitigate the spread of self propagating malware on a production net-work. In order to better understand the spread and impact of internet worms Tartarus is used to construct a detailed demographic of poten-tially malicious hosts on the internet. This host demographic is in turn used as a blacklist for firewall rule creation. The sources of malicious traffic is then illustrated through the use of a geolocation based visuali-sation.
