Pretty much the only regions on the planet from which we *don't* see regular volumetric DDOS against www.bbc.co.uk & www.bbc.com is central Africa & the poles.

This is map shows the number of time each country was a DDOS traffic source in the last 30 days (larger circles == more DDOS attacks).

The botnets are really well globally distributed these days (and we typically see thousands or tens of thousands of source IPs per attack - mostly compromised servers).

Après quelques recherches j'ai compris qu'il pouvait y avoir un certains défis à réintroduire les #regex sur #mastodon que ce soit par la complexité d'utilisation ou le ralentissement les services avec possible faille #DDOS le risque est le taille.

Personnellement, j'aurais bien aimé avec a profiter des nombreux avantages qui en découle malgré tout. Et j'ai cru comprendre qui que beaucoup de #moderation en aurait apprécié l'efficacité.

FramapiafJBrickelt963 (φ) (@JBrickelt963@framapiaf.org)@toddalstrom@mastodon.social oh je découvre qu'il est possible d'ajouter des expression "Regex" dans les filtres Mastodon !? L'expression pour Thread me sera sans doute moins utile maintenant qu'il est bien largement défédéré, mais ça ouvre le champ des possible. EDIT : Zut voilà que je déchante en apprenant que ça l'était jusqu'en 2018 dans l'implémentation officielle ... #Regex #Mastodon #Fediverse #feditips

@briankrebs yeah, cuz every #SecOps of any #ISP is gonna read that and look into the affected hosts if they were in their netwirk and obviously share the findings with investigators.

  • And I don't blame them since #DDoS attacks espechally at that scale do create a lot if cost and anger at their end as well.

So everyone but the malicious actor is gonna be mad...

  • Which makes it an even worse decision!

@Npars01 and even then to me this looks more like a "bad" #PR stunt to me.

It's the digital equivalent of kids shooting paintballs at a parked cop car in a monsoon rain and that got only noticed retroactively...

  • I just think it's wasteful to #DDoS @briankrebs 's website because it's only a #blog, he doesn't pay any #ransom, is extremely well protected and outage of it doesn't generate the same public or financial pressure compared to businesses and governmental institutions.

Like even if they had succeeded, what would've been the outcome? Maybe line that reads: "Congrats Kiddo, you just wasted thousands if not millions of dollars worth in Monero just to create an outage of a tiny blog. Go give yourself a star in your exercise book!"

  • Someone just had more money than sense I guess...
Infosec.SpaceKevin Karhan :verified: (@kkarhan@infosec.space)@briankrebs@infosec.exchange TBH, I think #DDoS'ing *your blog* is kinda wasteful beyond *"#BraggingRights"* because it's not only *well protected* but the amount of damage / revenue by #blackmailing they could expect is just zero. - I mean, it shure is a way to get *your attention* but that doesn't mean any #BlackHat should *ask for that*! But there are thousands if not millions of weaker targets they could've attacked. - Seems like the [muggers from Crocodile Dundee](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qi0G0b1dNzE) *but dumber* cuz they try to puncture your tires but you're sitting in a tracked tank. Pretty shure had #Google not told you or anyone else you would not have even noticed it.

Iberian Peninsula Blackout: Effects in Cyberspace is a recently published blog post on the #electricity #outage in #Spain, #Portugal and some parts in #France. Unlike other posts, we at #ASERT do not only cover traffic pattern, but specifically shed light on the #DDoS landscape, and the effect the outage had on the region.

A very powerful article about what crawlers dictated by AI companies are doing by simply destroying the web by doing endless infinite requests on servers as small as a Raspberry Pi and as large as Google's content delivery network, forcing drastic measures as the recent one ironically by GitHub where you can only do 10 requests after you've logged in
