Blacklisting Malicious Websites using Peer-to-Peer Technology

Abstract

The misuse of websites to serve exploit code to compromise hosts on the Internet has increased drastically in the recent years. With new methods like Fast- or Domain Fluxing the attackers have found ways to generate thousands of links leading to malicious webservers in a very short time. With the help of the distributed blacklist solution we propose in this paper we are able to quickly respond to new threats and have the ability to involve different sources to collect information about malicious websites. It is therefore possible to protect networks from threats that they have not even been targeted for yet, by sharing attack information globally
