blocking based on ttl edit blocking specific time to live ttl values based on the network path length can be a viable option for blocking spoofed attacks 137 unintentional denial of service edit an unintentional denial of service can occur when a system ends up denied not due to a deliberate attack by a single individual or group of individuals but simply due to a sudden enormous spike in popularity this can happen when an extremely popular website posts a prominent link to a second less well prepared site for example as part of a news story the result is that a significant proportion of the primary site s regular users potentially hundreds of thousands of people click that link in the space of a few hours having the same effect on the target website as a ddos attack a vipdos is the same but specifically when the link was posted by a celebrity when michael jackson died in 2009 websites such as google and twitter slowed down or even crashed 138 many sites servers thought the requests were from a virus or spyware trying to cause a denial of service attack warning users that their queries looked like automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application 139 news sites and link sites sites whose primary function is to provide links to interesting content elsewhere on the internet are most likely to cause this phenomenon the canonical example is the slashdot effect when receiving traffic from slashdot it is also known as the reddit hug of death 140 and the digg effect 141 similar unintentional denial of service can also occur via other media e g when a url is mentioned on television in march 2014 after malaysia airlines flight 370 went missing digitalglobe launched a crowdsourcing service on which users could help search for the missing jet in satellite images the response overwhelmed the company s servers 142 an unintentional denial of service may also result from a prescheduled event created by the website itself as was the case of the census in australia in 2016 143 legal action has been taken in at least one such case in 2006 universal tube rollform equipment corporation sued youtube massive numbers of would be youtube com users accidentally typed the tube company s url utube com as a result the tube company ended up having to spend large amounts of money on upgrading its bandwidth 144 routers have also been known to create unintentional dos attacks as both d link and netgear 145 routers have overloaded ntp servers by flooding them without respecting the restrictions of client types or geographical limitations side effects of attacks edit backscatter edit see also backscatter email and internet background noise in computer network security backscatter is a side effect of a spoofed denial of service attack in this kind of attack the attacker spoofs the source address in ip packets sent to the victim in general the victim machine cannot distinguish between the spoofed packets and legitimate packets so the victim responds to the spoofed packets as it normally would these response packets are known as backscatter 146 if the attacker is spoofing source addresses randomly the backscatter response packets from the victim will be sent back to random destinations this effect can be used by network telescopes as indirect evidence of such attacks the term backscatter analysis refers to observing backscatter packets arriving at a statistically significant portion of the ip address space to determine the characteristics of dos attacks and victims legality edit numerous websites offering tools to conduct a ddos attack were seized by the fbi under the computer fraud and abuse act 147 see also cybercrime and dpp v lennon many jurisdictions have laws under which denial of service attacks are illegal unctad highlights that 156 countries or 80 globally have enacted cybercrime laws to combat its widespread impact adoption rates vary by region with europe at a 91 rate and africa at 72 148 in the us denial of service attacks may be considered a federal crime under the computer fraud and abuse act with penalties that include years of imprisonment 149 the computer crime and intellectual property section of the us department of justice handles cases of dos and ddos in one example in july 2019 austin thompson aka derptrolling was sentenced to 27 months in prison and 95 000 in restitution by a federal court for conducting multiple ddos attacks on major video gaming companies disrupting their systems for hours to days 150 151 in european countries committing criminal denial of service attacks may as a minimum lead to arrest 152 the united kingdom is unusual in that it specifically outlawed denial of service attacks and set a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison with the police and justice act 2006 which amended section 3 of the computer misuse act 1990 153 in january 2019 europol announced that actions are currently underway worldwide to track down the users of webstresser org a former ddos marketplace that was shut down in april 2018 as part of operation poweroff 154 europol said uk police were conducting a number of live operations targeting over 250 users of webstresser and other ddos services 155 on january 7 2013 anonymous posted a petition on the whitehouse gov site asking that ddos be recognized as a legal form of protest similar to the occupy movement the claim being that the similarity in the purpose of both is same 156 see also edit bashlite 2014 computer malware billion laughs attack denial of service attack at xml parsers exploiting
