It seems that 2016 has been the year of immense DDoS attacks, many coming from Mirai. This seems to be a newcomer though ending the year with a 650Gbps DDoS attack. The Dyn DNS DDoS attack that some speculated reached over 1Tbps was probably the biggest, but this isn’t that far behind and it’s bigger […]

Posted in: Legal Issues, Network Hacking | Add a CommentLast week the Dyn DNS DDoS took out most of the East coast US websites including monsters like Spotify, Twitter, Netflix, Github, Heroku and many more.

Posted in: Exploits/Vulnerabilities, Network Hacking | Add a CommentDDoS or Booter services have been around for a while, but VDoS-s.com was a particularly slick (and shameless) one with a content marketing strategy and active social media accounts. Two Israeli men were arrested for running the service after ironically being hacked by a security researcher. They called their service a ‘Stresser’ and claimed to […]

Posted in: Legal Issues, Network Hacking | Add a CommentUFONet is an open redirect DDoS tool designed to launch attacks against a target, using insecure redirects in third party web applications, like a botnet.

It’s been getting hit hard since November 3rd, with a large scale rather sophisticated set of DDoS attacks rendering it unable to receive or send e-mail. It seems to have mitigated the […]

Posted in: Cryptography, Network Hacking, Privacy | Add a CommentSo Rackspace has just recovered from a major DNS DDoS attack which rendered some domains inaccessible for over 11 hours. It seems to have been a fairly frequent occurrence lately with Namecheap also undergoing several attacks against its DNS infrastructure. I got affected again recently on December 18th when they were hit with a massive […]
