A Distributed Cloud Honeypot Architecture

Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks pose a huge threat to the Internet. Follow the rapid usage of the Internet of things (IoT), the DDoS attack is no longer a mere traffic attack, the original attack on the application layer surpasses the attack on the network layer. Furthermore, DDoS attacks using Bonnets result more destructive effects. This research aims to propose a new collaborated active defense framework between Honeypot and cloud platform to detect and defend future DDoS attacks in the context of the IoT with the instantaneous malicious traffic measured in Terabytes.
