Hollywood, Florida, USA (PRWEB) 21 November 2011

Prolexic Technologies, a global leader in Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection services, announced today that the company reduced the largest DDoS attack event in 2011, in terms of packets per second (PPS) volume. The attack was a major goal of the Asian buyer and DNS service providers, and it happened between 5 November and 12 studenog 2011. Prolexic warns organizations with an online presence to the attack of this magnitude confirms the trend of the DDoS attacks of escalating size and complexity as documented in Prolexics Q3 2011 attack mitigation report which can be accessed at http://www.prolexic.com/attackreports.

According to Paul Sop, chief technology officer at Prolexic, the volume of multiple events, randomizing the attack reached a climax with a level of 69 million packets per second throughput of 45 Gbps of traffic per second, and 15,000 connections per second. These are the attack rates that no independent automated DDoS mitigation devices or services from ISP or chief agency will be able to successfully mitigated. The attackers used six different attack signatures during the event, including a combination of bandwidth-driven Layer 3 and Layer 7 targeted attacks aimed at organizations critical application layer. Prolexic offset by a total of four separate DDoS attacks during the event, which lasted 7 days and 20 hours.

This attack was three times higher in packets per second volume of the largest attacks Prolexic is mitigated earlier, which also occurred in 2011, said Sop. Frankly, we were surprised because we see almost four times increase in the volume of packages from Q3 2010th This increase reflects an emerging strategy in which the attackers directly target company DDoS mitigation appliances, which are normally susceptible to such attacks because they can not bear such a high rate of PPS. Prolexic remains one step ahead of this trend through additional investments in infrastructure DDoS mitigation in regions where weve seen the largest increase in botnet activity, and thus the largest influx of extremely large attacks.

Prolexics Using proprietary tools and mitigation strategies to live monitoring, Prolexic technicians quickly identify randomized attack that consists of the largest volume of GET, SYN, ICMP, UDP and DNS flood was initiated in an attack campaign this year. They also found that the attack was from botnets in more places around the world, with China as the primary point of maximum recorded botnet traffic. In addition, unlike typical DDoS attacks that are coordinated from a single geographic source, the attack was much more sophisticated because the coordinated globally. Despite the unprecedented volume and complexity of attacks, time to alleviation of any DDoS attack was within a few minutes time traffic began flowing through Prolexic scrubbing centers.

early indications for 2011 online holiday shopping season

Sop warns that it is a steady escalation in the size and complexity of the attack will be especially threatening to the e-commerce operations during the 2011 holiday season. He also warned that other industries such as hospitality, gaming, and shipping services, should also be on high alert for DDoS attacks in Q4 2011 as a botnet activity continues to ramp in the Asia Pacific region. Sop advises that it has measures in place to prevent attacks from DDoS mitigation specialist is the best defense against the attacks of escalating size and complexity of the online holiday shopping season and beyond.

Prolexic succeeded in alleviating the largest DDoS attacks this year in part because we can provide 24 / 7 real-time monitoring and immediate response to changes in attack signatures, said the SOP. Prolexic specializes in alleviating the high bandwidth of the attack, so we have invested in technology and training to be ready for this extraordinary attack. I was ready to ease even more attacks in the future.
