Hallo,
Matthias Wichtlhuber vom DeCIX hält nächsten Dienstag für die Aachener Informatik einen Vortrag über Gegenmaßnahmen zu Distributed-Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks am DeCIX und über die Traffic Veränderungen am DeCIX aufgrund des COVID-19 lockdowns.
Wann: Dienstag 24.4. 11:00 Zoom Meeting ID: 916 2538 0906, Password: 091338 https://rwth.zoom.us/j/91625380906?pwd=cEJCSk01VkVEUUpTSjgzYTlnNk5Odz09
Abstract des Vortrags:
We will start with a short introduction of Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) and their operations. With this background, we will discuss the topic of Distributed-Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks at IXPs. We present results of a recent measurement study of DDoS-for-hire Websites (Booters) and the traffic effects of a seizure operation of 15 Booter websites by the FBI in late 2018 [1]. Subsequently, we introduce the concept of Advanced Blackholing, a published and operational mechanism designed by the DE-CIX research team to defend IXP links against DDoS attacks [2]. Due to the current COVID-19 situation, we will close the presentation by showing some preliminary results on the traffic shifts caused by nation-wide lockdowns in several countries.
