Russian Company now offers to Flood your Phone along with regularly offered DDoS services. Neat!

November 20, 2008

Now, this is interesting.

Today on Sans there was a post about an Ad for DDoS services. Nothing really special about this right? Wrong. Along with the regular attacks that DDoS's bring to networks today, this Russian outfit is now offering the ability to flood your phones too. Imagine if you run a business that relies on phone calls like a call center or some such thing, and these guys DDoS your shit and no calls can get through in or out, that would suck wouldn't it? Well, these guys can do it for a fee. This is the first we've seen of this service being offered, especially as brazen as this one is - with a banner ad and all.

The messages appear in typical banner ad format, and rotate through, showing various phrases including:

"Will eliminate competition: high-quality, reliable, anonymous."
"Flooding of stationary and mobile phones."
"Pleasant prices: 24-hours start at $80. Regular clients receive significant discounts."
"Complete paralysis of your competitor/foe."

So, they already had the ability to take out your competitions network.Now, remember that girl who dumped you last week? They can spam her with 10,000 calls per hours now too. Scary.

Of course, it doesn't mention if it's just VOIP Based, Landline based, SMS, Cellular etc, but I'd put money on it that they're running an Asterisk (or hell, hacked skype or fwd or whatever) with several accounts, controlled by a little bot to do the calling, so theoretically I don't see why any of these services can't be "flooded" whether literally over the network, or figuratively by having all landlines ring busy for a week or two, or a month.

Has anyone else seen something like this in the wild? Any idea what they're doing/using? Let us know in the comments.

    This has been worried about for some time and therefore there are already some companies out there with specialized “firewalls” that inspect incoming SIP traffic for those who have SIP trunking on their last mile. If you are still getting your calls delivered the TDM way can you contact your carrier for help?

Got something to say?
