Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Darknet is a passive sensor system dedicated to monitoring trafficrouted to unused IP address space. Darknets have been widely used as a tool to detect potentially malicious activities, such as propagating worms, because most packets observed in a darknet can be assumed to have been originated from nonlegitimate hosts. However, recent commoditization of Internet-scale survey trafficoriginated from legitimate hosts could overwhelm the trafficoriginally supposed to be monitored with a darknet's sensor. Based onthis observation, we posed the following research question:"Can the Internet-scale survey traffic become noise when we analyze darknet traffic?" To answer the research question, this work proposes a novel frameworkcalled ID2 that aims to increase the darkness of darknet traffic, i.e., ID2 attempts to automatically discriminate betweenInternet-scale survey traffic originating from legitimate hosts andother traffic potentially associated with malicious activities. ID2leverages two intrinsic characteristics of Internet-scale surveytraffic: a network-level property and some form of footprintsexplicitly indicated by surveyors. Through the extensive analysis of traffic using ID2, we revealed thatInternet-scale traffic actually can be noise when we analyzed darknettraffic. We also demonstrated that the discrimination of surveytraffic enabled us to expose hidden traffic anomalies, which wereinvisible without our technique.
