The 29.7 Tbps DDoS Clusterfuck of the Year – Courtesy of AISURU’s Digital Dumpster Fire

Well holy flaming routers, Batman – someone out there decided to set the goddamn internet on fire again. A new DDoS attack clocking in at a face-melting 29.7 terabits per second just smashed records and made network engineers everywhere weep into their half-cold coffee. This volcanic pile of bandwidth abuse has been traced back to some shiny new botnet bastard going by the name AISURU – a charming little monster allegedly built from somewhere around four million infected devices, all merrily blasting packets like it’s an Olympic event in “Who Can Explode a Cloud First.”

According to the poor bastards cleaning up the mess, this wasn’t your typical script-kiddy nonsense. Nope. This shitshow used industrial-grade cloud flare, IoT zombie gadgets, and hacked servers all yanked into one massive digital gangbang of chaos. The attack briefly knocked several target networks on their collective asses before mitigation systems managed to stop it – barely. Think of it like trying to stop a tsunami with a teaspoon and a polite letter to Neptune.

Researchers are still piecing together the flaming wreckage, but early signs point at AISURU being not just another “botnet of the week.” This bastard’s running specialized code that learns and adapts mid-attack. That’s right – artificial malicious intelligence, the next level of internet assholery. Whoever’s running it is either a billionaire-level idiot savant or just another neckbeard with too much free time and not enough parental affection.

Internet infrastructure? Vulnerable as ever. ISPs? Pretending they’re fine. Me? I’ll just be over here watching the logs panic, muttering “I told you so” as the packets scream by. Honestly, it’s impressive in the same way watching your server room explode in slow motion is “impressive.”

So yeah, apparently the internet’s a burning dumpster again, and humanity’s collective answer is “turn it off and on again.” Good luck out there, network admins – may your firewalls burn brighter than your sanity.

Once had a user ask me why their torrent downloads were slow during a live DDoS event. I told them to unplug their router, and then I remotely disabled their account. Peace and quiet restored.
