While I can agree that 300Gbps is a decent attack, especially on DNS it is something that can be mitigated. It’s been done before, I’m confused as to why they couldn’t. Roelf Diedericks, haven’t heard that name in ages. I’ve engaged with him before, he’s a smart guy.
By no means is mitigation easy, but it can be done. It does however require some thought and planning.
It sounds like 300Gbps was low-balling it. Including the attack traffic sent to Hurricane Electric and Cogent, it was more like 500Gbps (300+Gbps to HE, and 200+Gbps to Cogent).
Apparently HE asked Cool Ideas to please get off its network.
Cool Ideas sent out a post-mortem to subscribers today. Here’s the most interesting part for technically-minded people, I think. I’ve written up something for MyBroadband, which will hopefully be published soon.
Howdy all. Dont wanna make an entirely new thread…but seems I just got a gift copy of State of Decay: Year One Survival Edition for free in my steam inventory…seems they’re making it free for all base game owners.
Ive been making smoothies for ages, but I HATE chunky stuff
The bullet arrived this morning, so I went home for lunch (managed to scratch my eye with paper as well - so half blind). I put my usual mix of fruit and veg and yogurt and flax seed in it, 1 min later all done and ready. And the cleanup is even better!
Hehe its why I still have meat at dinner - I cant give that up.
The smoothies is just a fast way to get food ready and take it to work that the guys in the office wont steal. Its why I make mine with frozen fruit - half a cup, and a cup of cucumber/spinach and now I can add carrots and other veg as well. I also use no fat plain yogurt - no added sugars - and it is how I get my dairy in since I hate drinking plain milk and so on
Interestingly enough fragmented UDP and SYN attacks are horrible to deal with. They’re definitely doing the right stuff (I was wrong, they’ve definitely done the right stuff). However they ran out of scrubbing capacity, luckily it’s solvable.
