DRDoS Attack
DRDoS, or Distributed Reflection Denial of Service, is a type
of cyberattack that aims to make a network resource unavailable to its intended
users. It is a more advanced form of a DDoS attack and is also known as a
Reflected DDoS attack.
In a DRDoS attack, a hacker spoofs the IP address of the
target and sends requests to a third-party server. The third-party server then
sends its response to the target's IP address, which can lead to a significant
increase in traffic. This can overwhelm the target's resources and make it
difficult to trace back to the original attacker.
Some examples of services that can be used in a DrDoS
attack include DNS servers, NTP servers (using the monlist command), and Memcached servers.
Some potential consequences of a DrDoS attack include:
- Damage to relationships with partners, customers, and other stakeholders
- Reputational damage
- Revenue loss
- Operational downtime
