Real-time detection of consumer IoT devices participating in DDoS attacks
Reported by helpnetsecurity.com
Could we detect compromised consumer IoT devices participating in a DDoS attack in real-time and do someting about it? A group of researchers Princeton University have presented some encouraging results showing that the first part of that equation can be relatively easily solved.As IoT traffic is often distinct from that of other Internet connected devices and as machine learning has proved promising for identifying malicious Internet traffic, they decided to use these facts to their advantage.
