[AusNOG] The shape of DDoS to come

3). Business model's will likely need to change or volumes will need to be better supported; there are various ways to solve this from routing most services through ddos protection or perhaps just outstripping ddos volumes by having so much surplus capacity it isn't a concern (whilst this may not often be feasible or economical) it seems that is the way things are moving. Buy Scale, Build Scale, or eat the ddos.

Yum…. Yum… Yum Packets for Dinner anyone ??

With the price of international IP transit from major carriers around the world below $0.40 cents per mbit the cost of bandwidth has dropped a lot….The only costly part to the equation is brining unwanted dirty traffic back to Australia.. (but why do that) much easier to clean unwanted traffic as close to the source as possible if you have the technology.

On a side note….What I do find interesting is I saw no abnormal traffic on large global peering exchange graphs during this attack….. ie
https://ams-ix.net/technical/statistics and https://www.de-cix.net/en/locations/germany/frankfurt/statistics

So where did the traffic come from……

I am guessing (e.g. no real analysis done here) if we 'normalize' the size of this attack, it probably isn't too dissimilar to previous DDoS volume to backbone sizes.

We'll probably need a multilateral approach to solving or at least mitigating the severity of the attacks;

1) Sure would be nice if IoT or whatever they want to call themselves devices were secured and regularly patched etc, but that's an uphill battle in itself. There should be an effort to put some form of minimum certification and open set of libraries the manufactories could get to patch / push updates if not already existing.

2). Network need to get more intelligent and coordinated. Detection and a trusted method to share attack vectors so that response could happen faster and improve detection.

3). Business model's will likely need to change or volumes will need to be better supported; there are various ways to solve this from routing most services through ddos protection or perhaps just outstripping ddos volumes by having so much surplus capacity it isn't a concern (whilst this may not often be feasible or economical) it seems that is the way things are moving. Buy Scale, Build Scale, or eat the ddos.

Reading both articles seems to give a lot of "creative license" to the term IoT. This is the problem with journo's today, facts from credible and verifiable sources seems to be not a requirement anymore. At least Ars mentioned it in the article, but it begs the question why print it?

DVR and IP cameras aren't IoT. We've had both of those long before the term IoT existed.

Unpatched home routers are likely to make up the bulk of the traffic

Yes there is.
There are a few keywords to focus on however.

Like 'part'. Technically if just a single IoT device was part of the attack then the media will say it was a IoT attack.

And 'device'. If you start calling security DVR's IoT devices (arguably they aren't, they are a server) then yep a few thousand of them took part.

I could be wrong but my impression was the bulk was traditional DDoS and not mostly IoT.

Is there any evidence to suggest that IoT devices played a part on this DDoS? My understanding is we're still dealing with the same problem as ever; unpatched/secured desktops/routers/switches which when you consider how accessible large amounts of bandwidth is explain the increase in DDoS size.

Most IoT devices don't enough CPU power to contribute more than 1K sustained. Doesn't mean there's not alot to be done in the security space with IoT, just means there's better targets with greater return.

        After Mirai's 1.2Tbps, which is pretty much unmitigateable,
        perhaps time for the industry to realise that IoT means we've
        arrived at a new age of DDoS. If this is the shape of things
        to come, where do we go from here?
