Talk Title: Cyber Threat Intelligence Acquisition with the Cloud Telescope

Abstract

This presentation shows how a distributed, cloud-native Infrastructure-as-Code artefact can be used to collect cyber threat intelligence on the most prevalent malicious traffic affecting the Internet at scale.

The talk will explain how the Cloud Telescope works, how it can be deployed by any individual interested in cloud and cybersecurity, along with the results of a five-month-long experiment using 130 EC2 instances across twenty-six different regions of the world.

It will focus on botnet propagation, including Mirai, Mozi, and Sora.

Presentation Outline:
