In this article, you will learn more about the 940Gb/s DDoS attack vs KRYPTIC DayZ server.

We discovered an DDoS attack on one of our customers on April 8th, 2022, at 17:31:30 UTC, which swiftly grew to exceed 940Gb/s. We kept an eye on the network throughout this period to see where the DDoS attack started and who the target was and how our network behaved.

Luckily he has a service with us (a dedicated server) and since we use the most exemplary DDoS protection, so we can mitigate DDoS attacks ten times larger than this one.

Stateful mitigation technology.

Thanks to our stateful mitigation technology, our network quickly detected and reacted to the DDoS attack. This means that our global edge servers (Anycast) were able to balance and effectively destroy the DDoS attack.

Our Layer 4/7 Application filters stopped the first 745 Gb/s TCP DDoS attack and the subsequent 931 Gb/s UDP attack. Each packet that enters our network goes through a stringent verification/scrapper to ensure that it is legitimate traffic before it is sent to our client’s service.

Look how the DDoS attack was quickly dealt with:

Quite simply, the results were astounding. We could stop this DDoS attack in their tracks without affecting our customers. Our cutting-edge layer 4/7 mitigation technology and our ability to mitigate through layer 4/7 floods allowed us to achieve this.

Is there anything I can gain from this?

Denial of service (DDoS) attacks are rising, and it’s hard to tell where the year will go from here. As the internet of things spreads around the globe, so does the number and complexity of DDoS attacks.

CaliberServers is committed to providing DDoS protected Game servers and Hosting services with an ever-expanding library of Layer 4/7 application filters. This diverse set of filters keeps us up and running during these attacks, and we will do the same for you.

We have one of the most advanced 10Tbit+ growing fast network in the world, with complete Anycast support and extensive DDoS protection, top-notch firewall, mitigation strategies and custom-made filters etc… Click here to read all about our DDoS protection.
