Attackers Use UPnP to Sidestep DDoS Defenses

Universal Plug and Play networking protocols have never been a friend of security researchers. On Monday, Imperva gave the InfoSec community another reason to dislike UPnP. In a proof-of-concept Distributed Denial of Service DDoS attack, Imperva researchers have devised a way to exploit the UPnP...

New DDoS Attack Method Demands a Fresh Approach to Amplification Assault Mitigation

Amplification attack vectors are some of the most commonly used tools in the DDoS attacker’s arsenal. In the last quarter of 2017, we saw NTP amplification employed in roughly 33 percent of all DDoS assaults against our customers, while DNS and SSDP amplification vectors played a part in 17 perce...

SUSE-SU-2018:0955-1 Security update for memcached

This update for memcached fixes the following issues: - CVE-2018-1000115: Insufficient Control of Network Message Volume Network Amplification, CWE-406 vulnerability in the UDP support of the memcached server could result in denial of service via network flood traffic amplification of 1:50,000 ha...

Mirai Variant Targets Financial Sector With IoT DDoS Attacks

A variant of the Mirai botnet was used to launch a series of distributed denial of service campaigns against financial sector businesses. The attacks utilized at least 13,000 hijacked IoT devices generating traffic volumes up to 30 Gbps, considerably less intense than the original Mirai assaults...

Cryptomining is all the rage among hackers, as DDoS amplification attacks continue

In this week’s InfoSec news review we’ll dive into cryptomining, get the latest on DDoS amplification, go over recent data breaches, and check out another vendor claiming it can crack iPhones. I, me, mine The freight train that’s cryptomining shows no sign of slowing down, and the cyber security...

Amazon Linux AMI : memcached (ALAS-2018-964)

It was discovered that the memcached daemon listened on UDP port 11211 by default. An attacker could use memcached for UDP amplification denial-of-service attacks. The UDP port has been disabled by default, but can still be enabled. It was discovered that the memcached connections using UDP...

Memcached DDoS Exploit Code and List of 17,000 Vulnerable Servers Released

Two separate proofs-of-concept PoC exploit code for Memcached amplification attack have been released online that could allow even script-kiddies to launch massive DDoS attacks using UDP reflections easily. The first DDoS tool is written in C programming language and works with a pre-compiled lis...

New DDoS Reflection-Attack Variant

This is worrisome: DDoS vandals have long intensified their attacks by sending a small number of specially designed data packets to publicly available services. The services then unwittingly respond by sending a much larger number of unwanted packets to a target. The best known vectors for these...

1.7 Tbps DDoS Attack — ​Memcached UDP Reflections Set New Record

The bar has been raised. As more amplified attacks were expected following the record-breaking 1.35 Tbps Github DDoS attack, someone has just set a new record after only four days — 1.7 Tbps DDoS attack. Network security and monitoring company Arbor Networks claims that its ATLAS global traffic a...
