Research paper detailing DNSBomb attack:

https://lixiang521.com/publication/oakland24-2/

"DNSBomb exploits multiple widely-implemented DNS mechanisms to accumulate DNS queries that are sent at a low rate, amplify queries into large-sized responses, and concentrate all DNS responses into a short, high-volume periodic pulsing burst to simultaneously overwhelm target systems. Through an extensive evaluation on 10 mainstream DNS software, 46 public DNS services, and around 1.8M open DNS resolvers, we demonstrate all DNS resolvers could be exploited to conduct more practical-and-powerful DNSBomb attacks than previous pulsing DoS atttacks. Small-scale experiments show the peak pulse magnitude can approach 8.7Gb/s and the bandwidth amplification factor could exceed 20,000x."

Hey, did you know that if you use #hashtags (at least in the infosec.exchange web UI) and then pause, you get a little pop-up that tells you how many times a week that hashtag is being used?

#denialofserviceattack gets 0 per week :)

You probably should delay exploring this until infosec.exchange has adjusted to the new load.
