AN ARCHITECTURE FOR A DISTRIBUTED CLOUD HONEYPOT

DDoS assaults present a significant menace to the Internet. With the increasing prevalence of the Internet of Things (IoT), the DDoS attack has evolved beyond a simple traffic attack. The primary focus of the attack has shifted from the network layer to the application layer. In addition, DDoS attacks utilizing botnets yield more devastating consequences. The objective of this study is to introduce a novel collaborative active defensive framework that combines Honeypot and cloud platform technologies. This framework is designed to identify and protect against future Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) assaults inside the Internet of Things (IoT) context. The framework is capable of detecting and mitigating large volumes of malicious traffic, measured in Terabytes, in real-time.
