[AusNOG] The shape of DDoS to come

[David Hughes]

Hey Paul,


I'm curious about your take on the numbers being quoted.  Dyn claims
they saw traffic from 10s of millions of unique IPs, yet last estimates
of Mirai's size I heard were at least an order of magnitude lower than that.

"Dyn substantially lowered its estimate of the size of the botnet used in the attack to about 100,000 nodes, from an earlier estimate of tens of millions of infected devices.”



Thanks

David
