I think there might be a bit more preparation going on than would be evident from your characterization that "the reflection is blindly done." My analysis of the attack revealed some RSTs among the SYN/ACKs, but those RSTs were the very few and far between, and they were not from the same IPs as the SYN/ACKs. So, it did not look as though a list of routers (probably easily gleaned from traceroutes), was being sprayed with SYN's aimed at an array of typical router services. And, there were other non-router machines involved, such as a collection of Yahoo.com web servers and even a machine whose IP resolved to "gary7.nsa.gov" (gotta love that Star Trek reference. :) My take on the attack/tool is that some deliberate collection of open TCP ports on well-connected machines is being done in advance, and that list is then used to drive a SYN spraying utility of some form. Given the other replies here, it appears that one of the resulting lists may be shared among multiple attackers. In case you guys are curious, here's the list of 202 routers that were flooding us from their BGP port 179 ... >------------------------------------------------------------------- 129.250. 28. 1
