As I feared would happen, there seem to be multiple versions of smurf out
with different amplifier network lists. FDT was smurfed for about an hour
last night, and of the list of broadcast addresses posted very few were used
in last night's attack...and a large number of the nets used were not in the
posted list.
Some of the more heavily populated (and thus nastier) amplification nets
used last night follow.
If you're on this list, PLEASE FIX YOUR ROUTERS. If you're using Cisco's,
its probably as simple as adding "no ip directed-broadcast" to the
ethernet interfaces on your routers.
Also, what's the deal with Internic allowing registrations with things
like nomailbox@NOWHERE? That's an incredibly useful contact. If Kent
Percival is in charge of a university's network, surely he has an email
address. Maybe it's time for a smurf amplifier blackhole list. If you're
used as a smurf amplifier, you get BGP blackholed for say 6 hours, and on
each subsequent occurance, the time doubles. I bet that would fix the
problem real fast.
