Very good work by #benjojo on #bgp #security #issues https://blog.benjojo.co.uk/post/bgp-path.. I think we can expect large #dos and #ddos #cyber #attacks soon! Turns out that the #isp #bgp #routing is crazy bad!
#jwz reports that everytime they #post on #mastodon they #ddos themselves. This will only get worse if the #service gets even more #popular https://www.jwz.org/blog/2022/11/mastodo..
Interesting that #easylist is being #ddos 'd by a poorly written #app in #india , meaning that many people no longer have #access to #blocklists https://adguard.com/en/blog/easylist-fil..
Not sure how to feel about this #cloudflare #blocking #kiwifarms from their #ddos #service https://blog.cloudflare.com/kiwifarms-bl.. In terms of #freespeech , it seems like a real #shame . In terms of #illegal #activities such as #swatting and #doxxing , good riddance. If this is the bar to entry, surely other #social #media such as #facebook and #twitter could equally be #banned ? They did it to #parler after all...
After doing some #pentesting of a #wordpress #website , I am surprised they do not get #hacked way more often to be honest: https://portswigger.net/daily-swig/wordp.. The entire use of the #database and lack of #caching by default seems to be quite an issue. You can #ddos an otherwise #static #website entirely off of the #internet quite easily.
These #ddos #attacks are getting absolutely wild, #cloudflare not long ago fended off a 2Tbps #network #layer #attack - that is actually insane: https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-b..
Nice, #microsoft apparently successfully fended off a 2.4Tbps #ddos #attack their #azure #cloud #infrastructure https://lowendbox.com/blog/microsoft-shr..
Good #idea to have long-running #programs #email you upon #error https://voussoir.net/writing/emailing_my.. I guess you would want something to prevent it from going insane and #ddos 'ing you, but this is a really cool idea!
Interesting #youtube #video #bug - although it's not entirely clear how it could be #exploited https://realkeyboardwarrior.github.io/se.. I guess it could be used in some kind of #ddos as it massively #multiplies the #effort their end has to do, but pretty easy for them to #patch ...
A #belgian #isp was under a 250 Gbps #ddos #attack https://issues.edpnet.be/ This is really getting insane. Many people in the #hackernews #comments are also receiving similar attacks: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=285.. It's only a matter of time before other #services and #servers are also attacked.
At this point I'm quite concerned about the future of the #internet with #ddos attacks becoming increasingly more capable: https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/09/kreb.. This new #meris #ddos knocked out #yandex ( #russian #searchengine ), #cloudflare and #krebsonsecurity ... It seems like the small internet (personal #blogs etc) are doomed to be yeeted off the face of the internet.
Maybe one day my website will need to sit behind some #cloudflare / #network #protection #service - but not today! https://kmitov.com/posts/when-the-police.. Interesting that #cloudflare are essentially #ddos 'ing the people they are supposed to protect! I mostly get #searchengine #bots in my logs requesting from this website...
This explains some weird #internet behaviour: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/widespread.. Apparently just *one* customer was under a #ddos attack and it crippled the entire of #nz 's #infrastructure - oof!
Would you look at that, a key #witness in the #assange case admits to a #lie https://www.lotuseaters.com/key-witness-.. Apparently the #hacker and former #employee of #wikileaks enriched himself and launched #ddos attacks whilst working with the #fbi against #assange ... Figures.
