The bandwidth amplification factor shows the potential effect of ADDoS attack and can be calculated by the payload in bytes sent I. INTRODUCTION for a request against that of the payload in bytes of the response. Recently, in March 2018, a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack achieved an unprecedented throughput of 1.7 Tbps [1]. To achieve this kind of throughput, the attackers used instrumenting the attack. Although a reflection attack is almost a DDoS technique know as Amplification. These particular the same as an ADDOS attack the responses of protocols do kinds of DDoS attacks can be categorized under the broader not need to be larger than the request it just needs to reflect group of Reflection DDoS attacks. An Akamai study has shown the request.

Since the system does protocols makes them available for exploitation, as the source not get used in a legitimate way, every connection to it is of the request can be spoofed in order to redirect the large suspicious. When deployed, honeypots can keep the focus off response to the selected target. Because of the spoofing, it important machines on a network, it works as an early warning is also very hard for the target to identify who is actually against new attacks and identifies new attack trends. They can also be used for an in-depth examination during and after exploitation of the honeypot [3]. Our study will focus on seven UDP based protocols which are prone to ADDoS exploitation: • Quote Of The Day (QOTD) • Character Generator (CHARGEN) • Domain Name System (DNS) • Network Time Protocol (NTP) • Routing Information Protocol v1 (RIPV1/RIP) • Microsoft SQL (MSSQL) • Simple Service Discovery Protocol/Universal Plug and Play (SSDP/UPnP1) TableI[4][5] shows the typical amplification factor achieved by each of these protocols as well as their use status. The specific seven protocols were selected because we would like our results to be comparable with those of Krupp et Fig. 1: Illustration of an Amplification DDoS.

That is, Twe use a variety of approaches and influences to successfully solve our problems, almost in a mental columns-and-rows format. These approaches may include structured methodologies, inductive and deductive reasoning, common sense, experience, and luck. And this is what troubleshooting is made of. Troubleshooting TCP/IP problems is really no different from troubleshooting other Windows 2000 Server problems mentioned in this book, such as instal- lation failures described in Chapter 2. Needless to say, Windows 2000 Server offers several TCP/IP-related tools and utilities to assist us, but more on the specifics in a moment. TCP/IP Troubleshooting Basics The goal in TCP/IP troubleshooting is very simple: fix the problem. Too often, it is easy to become overly concerned about why something happened instead of just fixing the problem. And by fixing the problem, I mean cost effectively. 1. Be cost effective. Don’t forget that several hours’ worth of MCSE-level consulting could more than pay for the additional bandwidth that may easily solve your TCP/IP WAN-related problem. Don’t overlook such an easy fix when struggling to make a WAN connection between sites utilizing Windows 2000 Server. Too little bandwidth is typically the result of being penny wise and pound foolish.

    DoS Amplification Attacks – Protocol-Agnostic Detection of Service Abuse in Amplifier Networks B Timm B¨ottger1( ), Lothar Braun1 , Oliver Gasser1, Felix von Eye2, Helmut Reiser2, and Georg Carle1 1 Technische Universit¨at M¨unchen, Munich, Germany {boettget,braun,gasser,carle}@net.in.tum.de 2 Leibniz Supercomputing Centre, Munich, Germany {voneye,reiser}@lrz.de Abstract. For many years Distributed Denial-of-Service attacks have been known to be a threat to Internet services. Recently a configura- tionflawinNTPdaemonsledtoattackswithtrafficratesofseveral hundred Gbit/s. For those attacks a third party, the amplifier, is used to significantly increase the volume of traffic reflected to the victim. Recent research revealed more UDP-based protocols that are vulnerable to amplification attacks. Detecting such attacks from an abused ampli- fier network’s point of view has only rarely been investigated. In this work we identify novel properties which characterize ampli- fication attacks and allow to identify the illegitimate use of arbitrary services. Their suitability for amplification attack detection is evaluated in large high-speed research networks. We prove that our approach is fully capa- ble of detecting attacks that were already seen in the wild as well as capable of detecting attacks we conducted ourselves exploiting newly discovered vulnerabilities. 1 Introduction Denial-of-Service attacks aim at making services unavailable to their intended users. Attackers can use different methods to consume bandwidth or deplete other resources of the victim. One method to exhaust bandwidth is called Dis- tributed Reflection Denial-of-Service (DRDoS) attack: an attacker sends forged requests to several servers with the victim’s spoofed source address.

  • Ddos Beasts and How to Fight Them
    DDoS Beasts and How to Fight Them Artyom Gavrichenkov <[email protected]> Timeline of ancient history • First attacks: 1999-2000 • 2005: STRIDE model by Microsoft • Spoofing Identity • Tampering with Data • Repudiation • Information Disclosure • Denial of Service • Elevation of Privileges [D?]DoS The difference between “a distributed attack” and an, err, not distributed one is vague. Traditional meaning: a distributed attack comes from multiple sources. • What is a source? Is it an IP address or a machine? • If it is a machine, does a virtual instance count? Or a few instances under the same physical hypervisor? What if they often migrate between physical machines? If I’m a victim, how do I tell a single-sourced from a multiple-sourced? • If it is an IP, then how do we treat spoofed traffic? [D?]DoS Hence, a different sort of thinking applies: • DoS (as implied in STRIDE): a vulnerability in a software (e.g. NULL pointer dereference, like Ping of Death) • DDoS: computational resource exhaustion Risk management The basic idea behind STRIDE and other approaches is risk assessment, modelling and management.
