Abstract
Systems and methods for analyzing network traffic are provided. An exemplary system may include a plurality of network nodes distributed in multiple geographical regions. The plurality of network nodes may be configured to collect mass scanning network traffic data. The system may also include at least one processor configured to receive, from the plurality of network nodes, the collected mass scanning network traffic data. The processor may also be configured to generate an omnidirectional network traffic database based on the received mass scanning network traffic data. The processor may further be configured to receive a query against the omnidirectional network traffic database. The query may include information of a source of a network scanning activity. Moreover, the processor may be configured to determine whether the source matches any record in the omnidirectional network traffic database and generate an indication based on the determination.
