Abstract
A system and method for mitigating a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack in a networked computing system. At least one DDoS honeypot in operative communication with a central controller in the networked computing system is configured to receive a data packet from a network, determine a source address of the data packet, and send the source address to the central controller. The central controller is configured to initiate a mitigation action based on the source address and one or more mitigation rules, wherein a determination of whether the received data packet is part of the DDoS attack is based on one or more detection rules.
