Do I need to say what is a booter?

Understand the BOOTER phenomenon

in a systematic way

to identify their VULNERABILITIES and

collect EVIDENCES for mitigation and prosecution.

My Goal:

BOOTERs are the CAUSE of the increase of attacks.

My Motivation:

Booters ecosystem is weak and we can take advantage […]

Booters' Ecosystem

Clients’ Point of View Targets’ Point of View

Owners’ Point of View

Important Observation:

My Overall Approach:

Infiltrate the booter phenomenon

becoming an ACTUAL customer,

understand what/how services are offered,

and use booters as STRESS TESTERS

against an ACTUAL target.

Clients’ Point of View Targets’ Point of View

Owners’ Point of View

My Approach:

Clients’ Point of View

if mitigated […]

the booter phenomenon

will eventually disappear.

Some Conclusions:

*but not DDoS attacks

Targets’ Point of View

[…] booter attacks are

NOT different from

generic attacks BUT they

are easy to label/

fingerprint.

Some Conclusions:

Owners’ Point of View

[…] there is NEITHER

legal NOR ethical

justification to OPERATE

or USE booters.

Some Conclusions:

Multidisciplinary

set of METHODOLOGIES

that collects EVIDENCES

against the BOOTER phenomenon.

All the methodologies can adapt to "a moving target”, e.g., booters.

Remember My Goal?!

Scientific Contribution:

Understand the BOOTER phenomenon

in a systematic way

to identify their VUNERABILITIES,

producing EVIDENCES for mitigation and prosecution.

Done.
