With reflected amplification, attackers
exploit UDP-based protocols to launch
the largest DDoS attacks ever seen.
The top reflected amplification protocols
were SNMP, SSDP, WS-Discovery, TFTP
and DNS Resolver.
The countries of origin for SNMP were
USA, Republic of Korea, India, Brazil
and Japan, while for SSDP the countries
of origin were China, Republic of Korea,
Venezuela, Taiwan and Japan.
Attackers are flocking to Internetexposed
IoT devices running the UDPbased
WS-Discovery protocol to launch
amplified reflection DDoS attacks.
But less than half of WS-Directory
attacks respond on port 3702 – 54% use
high ports.
A10 Networks says that sophisticated
DDoS threat intelligence, real-time
threat detection and automated
signature extraction can help protect
organisations against even the largest
DDoS attacks. u
