Nice report, If you would have to pick up just one vector out of this “multi-vector” attack, which one seems to be the one that had the bigger effect on your network or service? Was it degraded or total service interruption?

We had a large number of ping loss and data loss tickets begin opening up for devices sharing the cabinet chi18-313. The high traffic and interference was determined to be caused by incoming traffic to the ip address [Not hard to find, but redacted anyway]. Our network engineers will be back in after 9am until 5pm CST. They have greater access to the network and may be able to give you more details.

If so, count me in. This one was directed at me (as opposed to one of my customers) because I got an e-mail explaining why I was getting DDoSed. Is that aspect common? There were also some racial and sexual accusations that were made that clearly aren't true and just speak to the intelligence of people like this. Is it safe to assume that they completely anonymized the email they sent to me? Is there anyone I should be reporting this to? I thought my site was running in Cloudflare, but my individual server was still attacked, so I gotta figure out where I screwed that up. https://www.dropbox.com/s/rrrx90jvy09h26s/ICS%20DDoS.png?dl=0 ----- Mike Hammett <http://www.ics-il.com/> Intelligent Computing Solutions <https://www.facebook.com/ICSIL> <https://plus.google.com/+IntelligentComputingSolutionsDeKalb> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/intelligent-computing-solutions> <https://twitter.com/ICSIL> <http://www.midwest-ix.com/> Midwest Internet Exchange <https://www.facebook.com/mdwestix> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/midwest-internet-exchange> <https://twitter.com/mdwestix> <http://www.thebrotherswisp.com/> The Brothers WISP <https://www.facebook.com/thebrotherswisp> <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXSdfxQv7SpoRQYNyLwntZg>
