20 Gbps definitely isn't very impressive given the current landscape, but it can probably take down many medium-sized businesses as well, if they have no DDoS mitigations. Even a large one, if they somehow had no mitigations or no decent security team.
- mirashii 11y ago20Gbps is actually still impressive if it is a set of valid requests like the parent seems to imply when doing the calculations. 20Gbps via a reflection technique is easy, but also relatively easy to filter and just requires a large pipe. 20Gbps of traffic doing legitimate requests that you can't immediately and trivially filter/rule out is still an impressive feat right now.
- meowface 11y agoIt's high, but DDoSs over 500 Gbps have been observed in the past 2 years. So relatively speaking, it's not that extraordinary.
