Most of these attack vectors just mean a great amount of a specific traffic of some sort. Traffic volume is not something that you can, or would want to, eliminate.
You have to somehow identify and separate the unwanted requests from you regular traffic. That's why these cases are unique and needs to be handled manually, in cooperation with your uplink(s).
- joshuak 12y agoTo be clear these are attack vector prevalence relative to each other, and represent 'known' attack traffic identified by Akamai, not general traffic in these protocols. However, this is no doubt not a complete list of DDoS vectors as it doesn't account for application level exploits like demonstrated in the GitHub attacks. And obviously not everything that is a DDoS is a protocol flood. Either there is a way to identify those types of attacks now, or improved attack identification should be included as a requirement for the X-Prize.
