The INFERMAL project aims to uncover cyberattackers' preferences in maliciously registering domain names and study the pragmatic measures employed to mitigate against Domain Name System (DNS) abuse.
Phase 2: By July 2024, the team plans to perform an analysis of identified security measures that help mitigate DNS abuse. The team also intends to summarize a study on how quickly abusive domain names are suspended after operators are notified about the abuse.
Phase 3: Finally, by September 2024, the team plans to publish a final report in the form of a research paper. The project will also propose best practices to effectively mitigate abuse.
