Abstract: Booters was published by Santanna et al in 2013 which includes traces of 9 different booter attacks that were executed against a null routed IP address within network. The dataset is based on packet format and has network traffic of 250 GB. Packets are not labelled and booter attacks are divided into different files. In order to start locating Booters, on weekly basis use of a crawler is made to prepare the list of potential URLs. A URL can either be a Booter, or a normal web page unrelated to Booters, which may not be related to booters, or a booter indicating the name of a web page (e.g., video services, blogs, reports). The google’s custom search is used to enlist all the keywords including "Booter", "Stresser", "DDoS-for-hire" and "DDoS-as-a-Service" for preparation of candidate URLs. Second, every candidate URL on the weekly list is manually investigated to see if it is a Booter or refers to one. As a result, a second list containing the Booter is produced. Since July 2013, crawler and manual URL investigation has been conducted. Booters dataset is accessible upon request.
