The Github attack was a volumetric flood, this most certainly has layer 3 properties.
The post clearly discusses layer7 floods which do not have layer3 properties (such as slowloris.pl, rudy.pl, etc.) which are uncommon.
It would be a safe bet to say that the Github attack had layer-3 properties.
- jgrahamc 13y agoAfter some investigation, we discovered that we were seeing several thousand HTTP requests per second distributed across thousands of IP addresses for a crafted URL. That sounds like layer 7 to me.
- nenolod 13y agoThis has layer3 properties, such as connection rate, and was most likely mitigated using layer 3 filtering.
