Attackers Can Weaponize Firewalls and Middleboxes for Amplified DDoS Attacks

Weaknesses in the implementation of TCP protocol in middleboxes and censorship infrastructure could be weaponized as a vector to stage reflected denial of service DoS amplification attacks against any target, surpassing many of the existing UDP-based amplification factors to date. Detailed by a...
