[outages] Internap Being DDoS'd

[Bryan Inks]

Good info, I’ll definitely be looking into this.

But, I’m not being directly attacked. Internap is one of my upstreams, and they are the one that reported that they were being attacked when we called to let them know about the problem.

To second Jared on this one, we’ve seen a HUGE increase in NTP-based attacks over the past several weeks with our colo customers. It’s very efficient too – even a pretty low end machine can saturate a 100M link. It reminds me of SQL slammer…

If you haven’t yet checked that you’re safe from this you should. See:

and

Close your NTP amplifiers and prevent the spoofing.. Will solve this one.

Openntpproject.org<http://Openntpproject.org> can help you.

Just got confirmation from Internap NOC that they are being attacked again.

Causing quite a bit of chaos for my network in SoCal.

I’m having to route over to Level3 to minimize the issue.
