Explore the maximum Reflected Distributed Denial of Service (rDDoS) potential of IPv4 in this 43-minute conference talk from Hack.lu 2017. Delve into the detailed calculation methodology, data visualization techniques, and discussions on resource allocation for combating rDDoS threats. Learn about UDP amplification, amplification factors, and upstream capacity calculations. Examine metrics, wisdom findings, and Sankey diagrams to understand global rDDoS attack potential in terms of realistic throughput. Gain insights into the importance of tracking these trends over time for DDoS mitigation strategies and discover the extensible methodology for measuring global rDDoS potential.
