I read somewhere, I think maybe Ars, that the DDoS attack has been going on for
several days and is using primarily NTP and SSDP (UPnP discovery protocol)
amplification. And that SSDP has succeeded NTP and DNS as the amplification
method for big (> 1Gbps) DDoS attacks. Apparently because the industry jumped
on securing open NTP servers. And even though SSDP provides less amplification
than NTP, there are more targets and they are mostly home routers which
consumers are not going to patch even if there is patched firmware available.
Plus UDP makes it easier to spoof the source IP.
So I must have missed that UDP port 1900 is the new target for amplification.
I did a quick torch and saw a bunch of traffic on udp/1900, some inbound only
which I assume are scans, some bidirectional which I’m thinking is suspicious
but maybe some port 1900 traffic is normal because it is in the >1024 ephemeral
port range.
I went and signed up for ShadowServer, figuring they will tell me what IPs were
responding to SSDP requests on what date and I can track down the customer.
Anyone have a better approach? If you identify customers with UPnP open to the
outside, are you contacting them and pushing them to fix it?
It’s just amazing to me that some routers would have UPnP open on the WAN side.
What’s wrong with these companies? I saw DLink mentioned, and sure enough,
when I torched for udp/1900, I saw a lot of connections for a customer that I
seem to remember has a DLink DIR-655.
