IDC services providers are always vulnerable to DDoS attacks, because basically all of their tenants are providing public services. At the same time, the traffic is extremely complex as the services vary a lot, including gaming, audio, video, websites, digital transaction, etc.
For them, frequent and volumetric attacks DDoS attacks may happen on a daily basis.
A TYPICAL ATTACK EVENT
In May 2021, NSFOCUS SOC team monitored a timing, long-duration and massive DDoS attack, hitting 255Gbps at the peak.
The attacks were launched on time at 12am, for 2 straight days, which were over 100Gbps and lasted for more than 10 hours/day. From the attack trends, the characteristics on these two days were highly similar. It is not difficult to tell that the two attacks came from the same organization.
Today’s attacks usually contain multiple vectors. No exception for this one.
Among them, the SYN Flood dominated the attack and the attack peak was close to 200Gbps. Meanwhile, the other vectors were also distinct. Compare with the normal business traffic which was less than 50Mbps. The attack was pretty serious.
Through the analysis of the attack source IP, it can be seen that the distribution of attack sources is even and scattered.
The compromised hosts are mainly distributed in China, the United States, South Korea, etc.
