Abstract: The TWAREN Defender Cloud is a distributed filter platform on the network backbone to help defending our connecting institutions against malicious network attacks. By combining the security reports from participating schools, this system can block the incoming threats from the entry points, thus it helps protecting all connecting institutions in the most economic and effective way. This paper aimed at explaining the analyzer design, its mechanism to back trace DDoS attack flows to their entry points and the defense mechanism it provides to block the threats.
