Hey frenzz..
Arbor networks claiming that the year 2011 saw the first record of DDOSing on IPv6..
Kiberprestuniki have begun DDOS-attack on the network, specializing in working with the new Internet protocol IPv6, said in a report published today by the company Arbor Networks, which specializes in protection against DDOS-attacks.
Bill Serveni, Senior Software Engineer Arbor, says that the first DDOS-attack on the IPv6 network were recorded in 2011, although such incidents now and then stayed and continue to be exotic and for online criminals, they continue to be economically impractical. He noted that many of our clients say about Arbor significantly more active implementation of IPv6-networks, and forecast that in 2012 the volume IPv6 will more than double compared to 2011 year.
"We must recognize that while most organizations remains relatively immune to the transition to a new version of the protocol, since they are used by hardware and software is not fully compatible with IPv6", - he said.
According to data presented today at the seventh annual report, Arbor Network 7th annual Worldwide Infrastructure Security Report, 66% by customers say that their main inhibiting factor is the lack of interoperability between IPv4 and IPv6-networks. 60% say they are concerned about the inability to accurately analyze and monitor the IPv6-traffic. "A lot of infrastructure solutions have not yet offer the same functionality as for IPv4, and for IPv6. Lack of functionality means that security professionals can also monitor the IPv6, like IPv4", - says Serveni.
As for the traditional DDOS-attacks on the network IPv4, here Arbor about a week ago presented a report which says that in 2011 DDOS-attack time was less prolonged in comparison with the attacks in 2010, but last year the activity of DDOS- Traffic was higher. The average power of DDOS-attack in the fourth quarter of 2011 amounted to 5.2 Gbit / sec, which is 148% more than in the third quarter. In general, the activity of DDOS-traffic in 2011 increased by 136% in comparison with data for 2010.
In Arbor Networks says that about 40% of their clients are faced with DDOS-attacks of more than 1 Gbit / sec, and 13% said they faced attacks on 10 Gbit / s.
Roland Dobbins, an expert on technical architecture Arbor, says that in 2011 much of the DDOS-attacks was of a political or ideological overtones and was associated with the sites of the media or human rights organizations, projects, pointing to corruption and abuse in state institutions in different countries. At Arbor say their observations is the significant concentration of garbage traffic was recorded in Japan, although the country is traditionally not covered in the list of countries hostyaschih large botnets.
