Improvements in DDoS amplifiers monitoring module
Qrator Radar team is pleased to announce several significant improvements in our DDoS amplifiers monitoring module.
We have extended the number of supported protocols commonly used for amplification attacks, and we are planning to add the support of other important protocols in the near future. In addition to DNS and ICMP, we are now detecting vulnerable NTP and SNMP servers. Furthermore, we are now monitoring DDoS amplifiers on the entire IPv4 address space, so we are able to detect almost all amplifiers of the specified types in the particular Autonomous System.
