GEN:SID | 1:251 |
Message | DDOS - TFN client command LE |
Summary | This event is generated when a command is sent to a Tribal Flood Network (TFN) Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) daemon. |
Impact | Attempted DDoS. If the listed source IP is in your network, it may be a TFN client. If the listed destination IP is in your network, it may be a TFN daemon. |
Detailed Information | The TFN DDoS uses a tiered structure of compromised hosts to coordinate and participate in a distributed denial of service attack. Clients communicate with daemons to inform them to launch attacks. This event is indicative of a client sending commands to a daemon. |
Affected Systems | Any TFN compromised host. |
Attack Scenarios | After a host becomes a TFN daemon, it will respond to client requests. |
Ease of Attack | Simple. TFN code is freely available. |
Corrective Action | Perform proper forensic analysis on the suspected compromised host to discover the means of compromise. Rebuild a confirmed compromised host. Use a packet-filtering firewall to block inappropriate traffic to the network to prevent hosts from being compromised. |
