We build these libraries with an eye towards affording other researchers ease of use, putting these resources in one central location for interested parties to take advantage of the incredible work that has informed us. If you are an author whose work is listed here and you do not wish it to be listed in our repository, please let us know. We also welcome additional suggestions from readers, and will consider adding further resources as so much of our work has come through crowd sourced collaboration already. Get in touch via [email protected] if you have questions, concerns, or are interested in contributing to this initiative to spread DDoS education internationally.

DDoS Language Translations

As part of our DDoS Translation Project, we are actively developing approaches based on Machine Learning, Machine Translation, and Natural Language Processing to rapidly and accurately translate these DDoS-related documents into other languages. Our goal is to create a centralized site for educational public goods and disseminate this knowledge globally to ensure that DDoS attacks are mitigated. The Institute for Security and Technology has successfully trained an English-to-Mandarin machine translation model. Check out our Mandarin DDoS Virtual Library! Our Hindi and Japanese DDoS Virtual Libraries are under construction.
