Detecting Pandemic and Endemic Incidents through Network Telescopes: Security 
Analysis

by Fotis Gagadis

Abstract:

Moore et al., from the Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis 
(CAIDA), proposed in recent years another measurement and monitoring method 
for networks and the Internet. Network Telescopes are used to detect malicious 
traffc events generated from Denial of Service attacks, worm infected hosts 
and misconfiguration. This report is focused on endemic and pandemic incidents 
(DoS, Worm) and how these incidents observed through different Darknet 
topologies and statistical models. Furthermore, network telescope 
effectiveness will be examined for broader understanding and evaluation.
