Over 20Gbps DDoS attacks Now Become Common for Hackers

The Distributed Denial of Service DDoS attack has become more sophisticated and complex and therefore has become one of the favorite weapon for the cyber criminals to temporarily suspend the services of any host connected to the Internet and till now nearly every big site had been a victim of thi...

NTP Aplification, SYN Floods Drive Up DDoS Attack Volumes

There has been a steady but dramatic increase in the potency of distributed denial of service DDoS attacks from the beginning of 2013 through the first two months of this year. In large part, reason for this rise in volume has to do with the widespread adoption of two attack methods: large...

NTP Amplification DDoS Attacks Increasing

An ever-shrinking number of vulnerable network time protocol NTP servers are being used with customized distributed denial of service DDoS toolkits to perform increasingly potent NTP amplification attacks. According to the DDoS mitigation specialists at Prolexic, who issued a high alert DDoS atta...

quake1-info NSE Script

Extracts information from Quake game servers and other game servers which use the same protocol. Quake uses UDP packets, which because of source spoofing can be used to amplify a denial-of-service attack. For each request, the script reports the payload amplification as a ratio. The format used i...

The Distributed Denial of Service DDoS attack is the one of favourite weapon for the hackers to temporarily suspend services of a host connected to the Internet and till now nearly every big site had been a victim of this attack. Since 2013, Hackers have adopted new tactics to boost Distributed...

NTP Amplification Blamed for 400 Gbps DDoS Attack

For those of you who thought the infamous Spamhaus distributed denial-of-service attack set an ugly bar for the volume of spurious traffic sent at a target, gird yourself for worse. A massive DDoS attack, reaching at its peak 400 Gbps of bad traffic, was detected late yesterday against a number o...

High-Traffic Denial-of-Service Amplification Attacks Remain

It seems the exaggerated volume of bad traffic used in politically motivated DDoS attacks last year was not an isolated phenomenon. Distributed denial-of-service attacks that congest Internet connectivity and disrupt online services topped unprecedented levels in 2013, shoving aside stealthier...
