Prolexic Technologies, the global leader in Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection services, today announced that it believes the recent spate of DDoS attacks should not be attributed to just one group/individual or toolkit, as has been widely assumed.
The bot toolkit discovered to be responsible for the majority of these attacks is a PHP-based suite known as itsoknoproblembro; the infected hosts are known as brobots. However, post forensic attack analysis of a number of infected hosts conducted by the Prolexic Security Engineering & Response Team (PLXsert) point to multiple malicious actors participating in the crippling DDoS attacks using individualized evwmhuvp uct gtxrzfe.
