Qi Anxin reveals the details of the "Black Myth: Wukong" DDoS attack: four batches of attacks, coinciding with the player's online peak
Recently, many places around the world have suffered large-scale DDoS attacks, which not only have a wide range of impact, but also target the peak time when players are online around the world.
According to relevant reports, the attack was carried out in four batches, at noon on Saturday in the Eastern Hemisphere, Saturday night in the Eastern Hemisphere, Saturday night in the Western Hemisphere and Sunday night in Europe, all of which are peak hours for gamers online. Among them, Steam and Perfect World, the publishing platforms of "Black Myth: Goku", suffered the most serious attacks.
The main botnet involved in this attack is AISURU, which has more than 30,000 bot nodes and an attack capacity of up to 1.3-2 T, which is enough to easily overwhelm most internet services. It is worth noting that the AISURU botnet is from the same family as the "DDoS maniac" Fodcha, and also likes to provoke security companies. In the latest sample, "xlab gay" and other provocative words appeared.
