A network telescope, also known as darknet, is a passive monitoring system designed to collect unsolicited traffic directed to unused IPv4 address space. This tool provides valuable insights into large-scale cybersecurity threats, scanning patterns, and trends in Internet traffic. In this work, we explore the implementation of a network telescope that leverages cloud providers’ IP addresses rather than generic public IPs, as commonly done in several related works. The objective is to highlight the advantages of using cloud-owned addresses, e.g., increased visibility or unique traffic sources. To this end, we first compared the services offered by major cloud providers and selected the most suitable option.
