We are telling you something interesting about “Spamhaus” which is a Spam Fighting Company and “Cyberbunker” which is a web hosting company, they both slowed down the majority of the Internet by making the DNS(Domain Name Service) resolving slow.
This DNS Attack was done because Spamhaus added the IP Address of the Cyberbunket to its Spam which result as you know we will not see Spam, behind this spam adding
Spamhaus said that Cyberbunker allowing most any sort of content to be hosted hence also maybe the source of spam.
The attack was possible because of the large number of vulnerable DNS servers that allow open DNS resolving.Simply put an attack exploiting this type of vulnerability makes use of the vulnerability of the DNS server to increase the intensity of the attack 100 fold.
At the bottom of this attack we once again find the problem of open DNS recursors. The attackers were able to generate more than 300Gbps of traffic likely with a network of their own that only had access 1/100th of that amount of traffic themselves. We’ve written about how these mis-configured DNS recursors as a bomb waiting to go off that literally threatens the stability of the Internet itself. We’ve now seen an attack that begins to illustrate the full extent of the problem.
By this Attack Whole Internet Community is responsible and a normal user is affected by this so for Internet users Community should come to a result and implement their method to resolve this.
