Re: DDOS, IDS, RTBH, and Rate limiting

I've used the first one, and hacked on the second.

WANGuard, when deployed properly, works amazingly well.

ddosmon is only useful if you have netflow v5 flows (or sflow that can get converted to nfv5), but also works well when coupled with exabgp / openbgpd.

I added some per ip limiting / exemption features to it (which may or may not work, I no longer use it. We've moved to something in house) -- available on this fork (https://github.com/Wintereise/ddosmon-mod)

The atheme framework it's built on is fairly easy to extend as well.

But yeah, automated rtbh is really easy (and cheap!) to do these days.

I have no idea if any of them actually work.

Today, we experienced (3) separate DDoS attacks from Eastern Asia, all generating > 2Gbps towards a single IP address

and stopped as fast as they started.

Does anyone have any suggestions for mitigating these type of attacks?

A couple of things that we've done already...

We set up BGP communities with our upstreams, and tested that RTBH can be set and it does work. However, by the time 
that we are able to trigger the black hole, the attack is almost always over.

For now, we've blocked UDP 19 incoming at our edge, so that if future, similar attacks occur, it doesn't affect our 
internal links.

What I think that I need is an IDS that can watch our edge traffic and automatically trigger a block hole advertisement 
for any internal IP beginning to receive > 100Mbps of traffic. A few searches are initially coming up dry...
