Backscatter-2007 (01/08/2007 to 11/29/2007)

Information useful for longitudinal study of denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.
This dataset currently consists of IPv4 packets sent by DoS attack victims
in response to spoofed attack traffic. This backscatter from victims was
collected by the UCSD Network Telescope. Data collection is planned for one
week in February, May, August and November in 2007, and the 2 day DITL 2007
measurement event in January. Possible uses of this data include modeling
DoS attacks, understanding victim populations, and using real packet traces
to validate algorithms for detecting or classifying malicious traffic.
This last use is particularly valuable because it is extremely challenging to
artificially generate the kind of real-world noise present on the Internet.
