Re: [hlds_linux] new kind of ddos / reflect ddos?

2011-03-25 Thread Marco Padovan
Thanks for this clarification. From what I saw there were a lot of servers
all around the world receiving those packets... the source (spoofed) was
down probably due to the reflection...

If it's confirmed 00 isn't a valid challenge I'll filter it out...

If you happen to be online right now check your current network flow with:

tcpdump -nnvvXS src 64.34.181.243

 they look like some sort of dos reflect attack (with low multiplication

 They appear as reflection because they looks like to come from other steam
 servers... so those servers gets flooded with replies.

 Are you seeing them too? what is FF 71 used for? why are the orangebox
 servers replying to those requests with a 39bytes packet?

This is the first packet sent to servers by connecting clients. The server
responds with a challenge number and some other info about the server.

However, a client challenge number is supposed to be included with this
packet (before the 0's -- this was a semi-recent change), so I'd guess
you're getting hit with some kind of outdated denial of service tool.

I am getting these packets too.

The source address appears to be a srcds server, probably spoofed to
cause denial of service.
