- How DDoS works
UDP

Data Response
TCP
DDoS
- Distributed denial-of-service attack
- Attacker targets a victim from a number of different
IP addresses
- Purpose is to overwhelm victim’s resources so that
legitimate users can’t use them

- 1995 Strano Network took down French
government websites to protest French nuclear policy
- 1998 NYTimes article about “virtual sit-ins”

SYN Flood
Protecting against SYN flood
- Filtering
- Increasing Backlog
- Reducing SYN-RECEIVED Timer
- Recycling the Oldest Half-Open TCB
- SYN Cache
- SYN Cookies
- Firewalls and Proxies
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4987
Smurf Attack
- Send ping message “from” victim to broadcast IP
address
- Every computer on that network will helpfully reply
to the victim.
Ping Flood
- Send a bunch of ping messages to a server
- ping: ICMP "echo request"
DNS amplification
- Forge a DNS query to an open DNS resolver with
victim’s IP address as return address
- Victim gets overwhelmed with DNS queries they
didn’t ask for
- Queries for a DNSSEC-signed zone if victim is a
DNS server

Spam
- Unwanted email
- Sending email from bad server farms
- Moved to sending from compromised machines
Spam Case Study: McColo
- California-based Hosting Provider
- Shut down in November 2008. Guess which day?
- Chart of emails rejected
In Class Exercise
- Most security competitions explicitly disallow
denial of service attacks.
- Today we’re going to play around with Google
