Darknets are sets of IP addresses that are advertised but do not host any client or server. By passively recording the incoming packets, they assist network monitoring activities. Since packets they receive are not necessarily related to the advertised services, they can be used to identify potential security threats. Darknets can be used to monitor network traffic, detect anomalies, and improve network security. This research activity aims to investigate the role of darknets in network monitoring and their potential applications in improving network security.
