I just heard on the radio someone was asking, if I try to use Twitter and it doesn't work because of this attack, is my computer how hacked? Even stuff that rightly gets called hacking is an insult to hackers. Like if your webcam is on a public IP address and I guess that the password is 1234, and that gets me root access to install whatever I want, it hardly seems right to call that hacking. But taking down a site by flooding it (or its authoritative DNS servers) with traffic is not the same as hacking the site.

No spoofing, no amplification, no misconfigured DNS servers required, yet the ISP's DNS servers are used to send the attack traffic. All that is needed is a compromised IoT to send the query.

No spoofing involved. Interesting article on the techniques used by Mirai: https://f5.com/about-us/news/articles/mirai-the-iot-bot-that-took-down-krebs-and-launched-a-tbps-ddos-attack-on-ovh-21937 On Fri, Oct 21, 2016 at 1:30 PM, Ken Hohhof <af...@kwisp.com> wrote: The amplifier would receive a query from a spoofed IP address, and respond using a legit IP address. So the attacker needs to control some computers that can spoof the victim's IP address, but the actual attack traffic comes from the amplifiers using legit source IPs. In the case of IoT botnets, I'm not sure any spoofing is required.

It attempts to prevent spoofed traffic originating from your network to leave your network (or BCP38).

You should also do it on customer-facing ports not allowing anything to come in, but that would be best approached once Mikrotik and the per interface setting for unicast reverse path filtering. You would then said customer facing interfaces to strict and all other interfaces to loose. They accepted the feature request, just haven't implemented it yet. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP From: "Mike Hammett" <af...@ics-il.net> To: af@afmug.com Sent: Friday, October 21, 2016 11:21:35 AM Subject: [AFMUG] Another large DDoS, Stop Being a Dick There's another large DDoS going on now.
