How does this attack type works ?
- This is an attack focused to be consuming all the available bandwidth of the target host.
What does it means in practical terms ?
- Within this attack type, an attacker can potentially consume all the available bandwidth capacity in the target host or even in the datacenter.
- There are variants, where this attack is made to become packet intensive, causing routers or switches to start failing to serve the network.
- Other variantes of this attack, are meant to cause issues with specific UDP Applications.
- The zombie bots in the example, can either be infected regular user computers or compromised servers in any organization.

How does this attack type works ?
- Another attack focused to be consuming all the available bandwidth of the target host.
What does it means in practical terms ?
- The main difference with this attack type, is the hability to amplify the attack strength by using exploitable DNS Servers on the internet.
- An attacker will search and make a big list containing the exploitable DNS Servers, with this data he will be able to control a ‘virtual’ network of exploited servers.
- Within a master server, he will send forged packets, with the target host IP as requester (source spoofed IP), making all the DNS replies to be sent to the target host.
- This will cause the host to get down easy, with the amount of bandwidth in use, up to 64x or more, than the original used bandwidth to launch this attack.
- The zombie bots in the example, can either be infected regular user computers or compromised servers in any organization.
