Abstract:
Embodiments are provided for an actionable blacklist of DDoS offenders and ISPs associated offenders. The system can collect real-time attack data and perform real-time analysis, which can be fed into a centralized database for intelligent analysis to identify offenders and report to interested subscribers. The system can receive an indication that network resources are being targeted as part of one or more DDoS attacks, and then obtain the malicious IP address of devices associated with those DDoS attacks. The system can determine the Internet Service Provider (ISP) associated with malicious IP addresses. A metric can be computed that is associated with an ISP involved in the one or more DDoS attacks. If the metric exceeds a threshold, then an alert message indicating that the first ISP is involved in the one or more DDoS attacks can be sent to a list of subscribers.
