is a reflection attack but all my COD servers are acting like BOTNETs –
that is, it seems to be DOS attacking targets at high speeds. So far I have
been banning multiple IP addresses a day manually but it’s hard to keep
up as new IPs form up every hour. Has anyone found a solution to this yet? I
use Windows to run my COD servers btw.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>We
are getting hit HARD (.eu)<br>
<br>
I dunno what's the tool you are referring to... could you please mail me some
references privately so I can analyze it?<br>
<br>
Basically we are currently dealing on a daily basis with this kind of attacks
since december ...<br>
<br>
We find ourself handling 10k incoming spoofed packets per second during certain
times of the day...<br>
<br>
What are you referring to small flow? 1k/sec? 100packets/sec?<br>
Which kind of rate limiting figures did you all applied?<br>
We are trying to defend our self with very very strict network filters... but
that's damaging also our services that certain times appear unreachable (even
if they are not)<br>
<br>
In our case it looks like it's not just against other gameservers... but also
against random hosts...<br>
Source packets sometimes are from port 80 udp and, if not blocked, replies
would do an udp flood to the poor host if enough gameservers were involved...
(even if no udp service was running on port 80) :(<br>
<br>
The worst thing is that the damage to us as "reflectors" is very low
as we are used to handle a shitload of packets so it's difficult to say if
there's an attack going on or not :/<br>
<br>
Additionally, as I'm providing services to different GSP brands in different
countries, I found out that attacks are basically spread on ALL the servers...
using all the servers available on the master list as reflectors and targeting
only a little number of victims... they are not exploiting just a single GSP /
gameserver :|<br>

<p class=MsoNormal>John, you've seen an increase in attacks on victims or you
are seeing your servers being used as reflection servers? <br>
<br>
How are you detecting either/or? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><br>
Both. As a victim, from traffic dumps made during large (D)DoS attacks and from
received complaints by the IP owners at other GSPs that have been concurrent
with the attacks on our clients. A a reflector is from a complaint; it's more
difficult to detect those from the side of the server being used as the
reflector because the flow is small. <br>
