Even if it's not seen that often here on Mastodon: I'd like to share some news on my carrier path: I am happy to announce that I was promoted to a Senior recently. What makes this milestone even more meaningful to me is achieving a promotion around a year after graduating, and transitioning to full-time here at #NETSCOUT. I am grateful for being part of the #ASERT team which provides this environment of growth and encouragement. A special thanks to my mentors, managers and team mates!
Let's get to work, and add more value, more novelty, more innovation to the threat intelligence that helps protecting the networks of our customers.
Don't worry, the next posts will focus on networking, internet infrastructure and nerd stuff again :)

Boosting for visibility. @jtk and I briefly explored what we see on the
/8s announced by CAMTEL. It's been discussed on the #NANOG mailing list as well. -
Some will likely remember that #MegaMedusa caused issues to many folks due to their #DDoS tool leveraging open #proxy infrastructure. Shortly after, there appeared a feed online called #MiniMedusa. This feed truly disrupted the efficacy of the tool, and lead to a sharp drop of notable DDoS events. I summarized insights of our telemetry in a blog post:

Between February and August, the #Eleven11 was on the news. Using the parallel #DNS root #OpenNIC was nothing new for a botnet. Yet, this botnet was the first known botnet of it's size using the OpenNIC system.
We summarized insights in a new blog post: 161 Days of Eleven11

While some report increased latency or no visible effect, we at #ASERT observed a noticeable decline of around 20% of egress traffic from Finland after the cut of the C-Lion1 submarine cable in the early morning hours of November 18. The traffic has yet to normalize for the past 72 hours.

My colleague Marcin explored what #NETSCOUT #ASERT observes about the coordinated #DDoS effort against organizations in #Japan. #NoName057 and the #RussianCyberArmy team coordinated a DDoS campaign as a response to news on the military stage.

While most reports talk about the #databreach, the fact that a #DDoS attack happened, and the political motivations behind the threat actor attacking archive[.]org we at #NETSCOUT #ASERT used our insights, to explore what the DDoS attack looked like and what kind of botnet was involved. Today, we published a blog post about it: Internet Archive under assault

Happy to announce the new iteration of #NETSCOUT #ASERT #DDoS Threat Intelligence Report - Issue 13. The three key findings focus on #threats, #targets and #defense. My personal favorite insight: We observed an average peak concurrent DDoS traffic of staggering 3.2 Tbps in 1H2024. The DDoS target section also covers the attacks tracked by us against different industries and really shows how noone is safe in today's geopolitical climate.

While news were talking about the people's response to the #election results in #Venezuela, we at #ASERT checked for anomalies in the #cyberspace. Apart from increased #internet traffic volume, we discovered some #DDoS attacks, likely as a response to the political turmoil. More on our latest blog post:
