IT'S LEET BOTNET DDoS NOW !!!

Holla guys,

In the mid 2016 a DDoS attacked was launched on Krebs On Security.It was supposed to be the largest DDoS ever launched rating upto 620Gbps. It was feared that with the release of source code of Mirai Botnet which was used to launch the attack will result in considerable rise in DDoS attack.

But let me introduce to the LEET BOTNET and scare you a bit more!!!



A DDoS attack of about 650Gbps was defended by Imperva (a security firm).
The malware used has nothing similar to Mirai and is completely different malware.This malware is considered as the most powerful and dangerous one ever created.
These are the signs that it is going to be much worse in 2017.

The effort of the creator that was put into the creation of this malware should be appreciated.Through analysis it was found that the TCP header of the SYN packets that was used in the attack read l33t,thats where it got it's name LEET BOTNET.

Even after the analysis of the attack Imperva is unable to point out the source or the origin of the attack.The company do speculated that it must be a combination of large and small payloads has been used which eventually resulted in the clogging of the network pipe as well as the network switches also went down.






The factor makes LEET botnet attack different from that of MIRAI attack is that in case of mirai attack strings of characters those were randomly generated were used to traffic generation, while in case of leet botnet the malware were able to access the local files and the scrambled versions of the compromised content were used as a payload.

This attack clearly shows that a number of randomized payloads can be generated using this method and these payloads in the hand of an offender can create a mishap.


Leaving you all amazed...

Untill next time
