Massive DDoS Attack "Almost Broke the Internet" - Says CloudFlare
Hey LET, Just found out some very frightening news.
There's a recently discovered DDos Tools called "NTP"
More Info about NTP here
It can achieve MASSIVE amounts of volumetric junk packets, From small reflection based attacks.
It's the DDoS that "Almost Broke The Internet" - Cloudflare
Good read here
Take a look How Massive these things are!!
These thing's are more common now
The date of the first attack was February 10, Since that was an Arbor TMS Device, It's connected to this DDoS Map
Check out the Size of that massive attack here
Here's OVH's CEO, Responding to the DDoS They've gotten also
Oh Boy, This is going to hurt.

No offense, but that's super old news. DDoS happens, which is why DDoS filtering services exist.
This was back in Feb...
I know, But I thought it would be a cool read
So your thread is about DDOS and then on your signature it says
DDoS Protected Hosting Solutions
well played.
trying to emulate @serverian now are we?
:P
Call the NSA. They use the Internet more than anyone.
lol
NTP is not "DDos Tools", NTP is Network Time Protocol. For someone claiming to provide "DDoS Protected Hosting Solutions" you sound amazingly incompetent. Not to mention retarded and barely even knowing English (it's frightening, not "frighting").
The NTP Script is to send flood's is a DDoS Tool
CloudFlare are pussies!
Not really no. The tools they make to exploit/manipulate the NTP-protocol (double protocols yall) are DDoS tools. If they make a script called "NTP Script" that is used, that is a ddos-tool.
I've been doing NTP amp for a whole year now. On my own servers ofc
What i fail to understand where these ddosers get connection from to do such a huge DDOS attack?
That's where the amplification bit comes from in the names, NTP amplification attack, remember?
CloudFlare actually made a nice post regarding this aswell:
http://blog.cloudflare.com/technical-details-behind-a-400gbps-ntp-amplification-ddos-attack
And I thought there was something newer...
they should stop writing these kind of in-depth articles explaining the process which ultimately become 'ddos for dummies'
Guidance should be provided to avert such scenarios but they should not be a tear down of the entire tech details behind the attack with mentions of black hat tools, their product names, etc.
What even??
NTP is a protocol, not a DDoS tool @nexmark.
I see what you did there......
Also, this is old.....
Cloudflare = Good,
OVH = Better,
Core-Backbone = The Best

I thought NTP stands for "Network Time Protocol", not a tool for denial of service, but a protocol.
@eddynetweb me too.
That only happens if ntp is not configured right as far as I know. As long as you are using current ntp defaults your server cannot be used for this type of attack.
Also it was Cloudflare that was almost broken, not the internet. I know Cloudflare has a lot of traffic but the vast majority of the internet was business as usual when that happened from what I remembered.
As usual, hyperbole prevails on the innertubezzz
