UDP Flood Or SSDP Flood? (Attack Methods) - Aρεϰ - Mar 18, 2015

Hello Hf! 🤝

I was just wondering what i should use when booting home conntections off? i know udp does the job but on most services the graph shows SSDP Attacks what reach around 30 gb

So Whats more powerful and better for home conntections?

SSDP is a type of UDP flood, just amplified.
If you're talking about rawudp, SSDP is better for two reasons,
  1. Less server exhaustion

  2. Better attack power from amplified sources



DNS amp, ntp amp, ssdp amp, chargen amp, are all types of udp floods. The amplification methods are different, but in the end - it's all udp traffic.

Hope it clarified!

Very good explained 🤝
But to be honest all l4 methods work for a HC. It's not like you need alot of power to take down a HC. 😏

If you can use Chargen use that. But if you have the option between SSDP and UDP choose SSDP.

Don't use chargen. It's basically dead.

Use SSDP or NTP, they'll hit good enough to down any home connection. If you scan for lists, of course.

If you head over to the marketplace, Server Stress Testing, Fluffys Stresser has amazing power with chargen.

Honestly a home connection is going to go down on either, but if you're picky about the strength of the attack then SSDP is the way to go.

right SSDP is a type of UDP Flood , it does amplify the attacks way more than DNS amp attack

What are you hitting?
If it's a web server use ESSYN or SSDP.
