DDoS reflection attacks – udp 1900

So it happened… today a company I work with received their first ddos attack with source port 1900 udp.

Recorded attack peak was 1301 MBit/s with 530463 packets/s

I didn’t had the time to take a full network traffic dump as the attack cheased shortly, these were three most offending attackers in case someone is looking for additional infos/reasearches/inspections:

Apparently those are just residential IP addresses running vulnerable routers with UPNP services exposed on the WAN side.

There were tens of thounsands attacking a single IP in total… Single pps rate was very very low (for example 74.36.12.13 was pushing out just 200pps and it was one of the top offenders)
