Public Review for Extracting Benefit from Harm: Using Malware Pollution to Analyze Political and Geophysical Events Alberto Dainotti, Roman Ammann, Emile Aben, and Kimberly C. Claffy Natural disasters such as earthquakes can have a tremendous impact on Internet connectivity. Computers may get knocked off the Internet due to power outages, local ISP outages, wide-area Internet cable cuts, or the need for users to attend to more pressing matters. Detecting such a shift in Internet connectivity is not trivial. For example, the drop in connections to a news website from disconnected users may be offset by the increased number of connections from connected users who now urgently need news. This paper considers how changes in Internet background radiation (IBR) unsolicited, one-way traffic primarily from worms can be used to understand such macroscopic Internet events. In an IMC 2011 paper, the same authors studied the impact of country-wide censorship on BGP announcements, packets per second of IBR, and active probes. In this paper, the authors focus on IBR during two natural disasters the recent earthquakes in New Zealand and Japan. Specifically, the authors examine the number of distinct source IP addresses in IBR going to their darknet.
