I'm under attack.
Could you clarify what occurred? It seems there might have been a DDoS attack on your DNS server, possibly affecting many requests to the TTRS.PW domain. I’m here to help investigate further.
Yes, you can implement a smart firewall with automated updates via an API that refreshes blocked IP lists daily.
It seems they likely scanned your device and identified it as a DNS server, then launched a DDoS attack against you. Despite having a public IP address, the attackers probably probed it and reported it as a DNS issue. Your fail2ban protection is in place for other threats, but it doesn’t cover DNS abuse. The TTRs.pw domain shows no results, which suggests it’s not associated with that site.
Really? That seems odd... it might be worth checking with them about it.
The document explains DNS amplification attacks in simple terms. It outlines how attackers exploit open DNS resolvers to send large traffic volumes, overwhelming target servers. The glossary clarifies key terms like amplification, reflection, and the role of DNS protocols in such incidents.
