In the age where DDoS is exceeding 400Gbps the status quo has changed. Even worse this is not the worse that can happen the next generation of attacks using SNMP is just around the corner. We are no longer looking at the same threat as 4-5 years ago, attacks rates have increased exponentially and we need to look at conceptually new methods of defense.This talk focuses on the specifics of NTP reflection and why it is so damaging. In addition to that it will cover what the presenter believes is going to be the next protocol being abuse (SNMP) and also elaborate on the potential damages there. A special focus will be placed on mitigation and what foundations we need to lay now so those attacks are not as damaging. As in previous talks it will cover what other parts of the infrastructure need to be in place and properly sized in order to survive the attack. It will also cover measures that need to be in place so effective traceback, attribution and statistics can be gathered so the source can be determined fast.
