![]() ![]() ![]() Vulnerabilities found in UDP Portmap, DCCP, DNS, SNMP, NTP, and others can be used to amplify requests to 10X or even 100X and perform a powerful DDoS. A clear example is the popular reflection and amplification attacks. By simply exploiting vulnerabilities found in certain protocols, DDoSers can bring down services. However, recruiting bots for a Botnet does not always require malware. According to a journal published in Hindawi, the Mirai Botnet can be used to perform a wide range of attacks, from the basic TCP SYN Floods to sophisticated DNS Water Torture. Vulnerable IoT devices such as printers, IP cameras, and home routers, transformed into bots ready to be commanded. One of the best examples is the Mirai Botnet. The latter rise of DDoS attacks is correlated to the increase of unsecured IoT devices and the availability of DDoS-as-a-Service, Stresser tools, or Botnet-for-hire. Today there are larger botnets and easier accessibility to DDoS. ![]() How are These Massive DDoS Attacks Possible? Now, volumetric attacks are reaching a whole new level as DDoS attackers or DDoSers continue to flood networks and break services with Tbsp-size traffic. What started with a couple of hundred Mbps scaled to Gbps. Their level of sophistication and massive scale has become too complex to imagine. ![]()
