Our customer, Kryptic DayZ, recently encountered a staggering DDoS attack that exceeded 940 Gigabits per second. As we delve into this report, we’ll explore how VYKIX DDoS protection was vital in protecting Kryptic DayZ.
Introduction
This DDoS attack was orchestrated by multiple Internet Service Providers (ISPs) across various countries, forming a problematic botnet. The attackers employed crafty tactics, masking their attack as “player” packets aimed at crashing the DayZ server.
The DayZ-Specific DDoS attack
This DDoS attack is insidious because it can bypass most existing DDoS protection techniques. It tricks DayZ servers, triggering absurd CPU usage, reducing frames per second (FPS) to zero, and ultimately causing server crashes and potential database corruption.
Fortunately, Kryptic DayZ is a proud client of VYKIX. Armed with one of the most state-of-the-art DDoS protection technology available, we can stop attacks ten times this magnitude.
Mitigating the DDoS attack
Our network’s rapid response to the DDoS attack leveraged our global edge servers utilizing Anycast technology. Our Layer 4/7 Application filters successfully intercepted the initial 745 Gigabits per second TCP attack and the subsequent 931 Gigabits per second UDP attack.
At VYKIX, we proudly offer a network capacity of 17 Terabits per second, deployed across 22 major Internet Exchanges, enhanced with Anycast technology. This approach ensures that DDoS attacks are filtered and neutralized at their source, protecting your online operations even in the face of Terabit scale DDoS attacks.
