The Stratosphere Laboratory focus on applied research at the intersection of machine learning, cybersecurity and helping others. As part of our research and social commitment we develop free software tools that can help the community. In this blog we will recount our experience participating in the 2023 (DIMVA) Tool Arsenal with two of our tools: Slips and the AI VPN.

The World of Malicious IPs: Creating Blocklists from Honeypot Traffic.

A honeypot network is a security mechanism to detect and deflect potential cyber-attacks. It works by creating a decoy system that appears to be a valuable target for attackers. The honeypot is designed to lure attackers into interacting with it so that security researchers can monitor their activities and learn more about their tactics. By nature, the honeypots are hidden and do not form part of any production system. As they do not receive legitimate connections, all the interactions with the honeypots can be considered attacks.
