UDP Flood Or SSDP Flood? (Attack Methods)

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.

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. 😏

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.
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.
