Another 100 Gigabit DDoS Attack Strikes — This Time Unreflected

Posted by Soulskill on from the go-big-or-go-home dept.

darthcamaro writes "In March of this year, we saw the first ever 100 Gigabit DDoS attack, which was possible due to a DNS Reflection Amplification attack. Now word is out that a new 100 Gigabit attack has struck using raw bandwidth, without any DNS Reflection. 'The most outstanding thing about this attack is that it did not use any amplification, which means that they had 100 Gigabits of available bandwidth on their own,' Incapsula co-founder Marc Gaffan said. 'The attack lasted nine hours, and that type of bandwidth is not cheap or readily available.'"

    Using the perl "english words have lower priority than real operators" convention (see "and" v/s "&&"), the / binds more tightly than the "per" operator, and thus, it's Gb / (s/s). And the seconds therefore cancel. ;)
