NTP-basedDDoS attacksoften set records for the largest volumetric attacks, surpassing 2 Tbps. As attackers leverage more vulnerable NTP servers, the extensibility of these attacks continues to grow. Understanding NTP Amplification NTP is a UDP-based protocol used to synchronize computer clocks on the...
Ports allow computers to easily differentiate between different kinds of traffic: emails go to a different port than webpages, for instance, even though both reach a computer over the same Internet connection. What is a port number? Ports are standardized across all network-connected devices, ...
NTP amplification attacks are a potent DDoS method that exploits the Network Time Protocol. Learn how Imperva's DDoS Protection defends against such threats.
An Access Control List (ACL) is a packet filter that filters packets based on rules. One or more rules describe the packet matching conditions, such as the source address, destination address, and port number of packets. For packets that match the ACL rules configured on a device, the devic...
