In this presentation, we will discuss the growing frequency of large-scale, high-impact ‘carpet-bombing’ DDoS attacks targeting network infrastructure, as well as diffraction/amplification and refraction/amplification DDoS attack methodologies, and provide details of successful defense strategies for terabit-scale DDoS attacks observed in the wild. Tools and techniques for detecting, classifying, tracing back, and mitigating these categories of DDoS attack will be covered, including best current practices (BCPs) for network operators which can proactively limit the scope and impact of these attacks.
