You may have thought you were just it, or maybe you blamed Internet providers For painful low speeds experienced in recent days. Well you did very well (and here I mean the job with The ISPs), considering that, although indirectly, most of the fault is theirs.
Making a small summary, The Internet received the past days the biggest blow ever recorded in history, namely a atac DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) which initially recorded an 85gbps traffic. After which traffic increased to the point where The Internet was to "expire".
Who and why is it responsible for the DDOS attack?
Dispute that led to the greatest DDOS attack registered ever is one (still valid) between a the company working against spam on the Internet and o company that hosts websites. Dispute started when Spamhaus, the company fighting against spam, added Cyberbunker, the company that hosts sites, on black list that everyone uses e-mail providers to protect their spam customers. Attacks on Spamhaus started on March 19, concentrating Data streams larger than they can support Internet connections from countries (these are generated by a ROI OF COMPUTERS NAMED botnet-uri). When the first attacks did not bear fruit, in an attempt to drop spamhaus, the one at Cyberbunker exploited a Vulnerability existing in DNS (Domain Name Server), thus endangering Internet infrastructure.
Why are Internet Providers guilty?
If you are wondering what the City Hall has to do with the Prefecture (ie why the ISPs are guilty when they are not responsible for DDOS attack) well, the vast majority of Internet provider they left Open DNS resolves (Operators did not make sure that TRAFFICKING who leaves networks they come from their own users). The community formed around the project Open DNS Resolver identified Over 25 million DNS opens open all over the world. From where we conclude that the current situation of the Internet could have been avoided if the Internet provider had solved the problem of DNS resolvers (a solution that would only require a little time, and not a lot of money), DDOS attack being practically impossible in these conditions.
How can this problem be solved?
Well, first of all, it depends strictly on ISP-uri, these having to solve the problem with the open DNS resolves (preferably all over 25 million at the same time). Until then, we only have to pray that the Ddos Cyberbunker attack on Spamhaus will not spoil the internet The to.
