Atlas is a real-time visualization engine that visualizes packets arriving at NICTER's darknet sensors on a world map. The origin of the animated packet on the map represents the country where the source IP address belongs. The hight of the packet's trajectory is proportional to the port number in logarithmic scale. The trend of scanning activity of botnet or of those organized network scan may be identified through the visualization.
