GitHub whacked by ‘biggest ever’ 1.35Tbps DDoS attack

GitHub whacked by ‘biggest ever’ 1.35Tbps DDoS attack

CODE REPOSITORY GitHub has been slapped by the ‘biggest ever’ distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack.

In a post on its engineering blog, the firm revealed that on 28 Feb, GitHub.com was offline from 17:21 to 17:26 (UTC time) and intermittently unavailable from 17:26 to 17:30 due to the massive DDoS attack.

According to GitHub, the first portion of the attack peaked at 1.35Tbps, followed by a second 400Gbps spike later that day. This would make it the biggest DDoS attack of all time, as until now the biggest recorded peaked at around 1.1Tbps.

However, the site advised that during no point of the attack “was the confidentiality or integrity of your data at risk.”

“The attack originated from over a thousand different autonomous systems across tens of thousands of unique endpoints,” GitHub said in the blog post. “It was an amplification attack using the memcached-based approach described above that peaked at 1.35Tbps via 126.9 million packets per second.”

GitHub said an attack of this nature could generate vast amounts of traffic, with the spoofing of IP addresses allowing responses to be targeted against another address, like those used to serve GitHub.com, and send more data toward the target than needs to be sent by the unspoofed source.

“The vulnerability via misconfiguration described in the post is somewhat unique amongst that class of attacks because the amplification factor is up to 51,000, meaning that for each byte sent by the attacker, up to 51KB is sent toward the target,” it added.

Due to the scale of the attack, GitHub has decided to move traffic to Akamai, which it says might help provide additional edge network capacity. It said it is now investigating the use of its monitoring infrastructure to automate enabling DDoS mitigation providers and will continue to measure its response times to incidents like this – with a goal of reducing mean time to recovery.

Last month, Uber revealed it has stopped using GitHub for in-house code, alleging that hackers behind the 2016 data breach against it used credentials found on the platform to gain access to an AWS S3 bucket.

The hackers, one believed to be from Canada and another from Florida, stole more than 57 million customer records in 2016. Uber paid them $100,000 through its bug bounty programme to keep the information quiet. µ

ParseDroid Vulnerabilities Threatened most Android Development Tools

A collection of vulnerabilities known as ParseDroid put users of popular Android development tools at risk.

Research from Check Point has discovered several vulnerabilities in downloadable and cloud-based Android development tools which all Java/Android programmers use to build their companies business applications. Even security analysts and reverse-engineers use some of the affected softwares to conduct their work.

The vulnerabilities were found to affect the most common Android IDEs including Google’s own Android Studio, JetBrains’ IntelliJ IDEA, and Eclipse. Popular reverse-engineering tools for Android that were affected include APKTool, the Cuckoo-Droid service, and others.

Check Point notes how WikiLeaks leaked information as part of its ‘Vault 7’ release on how the CIA and NSA exploited vulnerabilities in the likes of CCleaner, Notepad++, and more to spread malware and acquire information on companies and their users.

This video demonstrates how the vulnerabilities could be used to attack the Android developer community:

Since discovering the vulnerabilities, Check Point informed the affected software makers of the problems. Google and JetBrains have verified and acknowledged the security issues and have since “effectively deployed a fix.”

8 Web Development Trends for 2018

From progressive web apps to static sites, we take a look at some of the trends that developers can expect to see in the coming year.


23755647_1982322942048242_3823739429874911617_n By Vaibhav  Singh  , Feb.  01 , 18  ,Web Development


 

Since its implementation, the internet has continued to evolve. In its early days, Mosaic and Netscape Navigator helped to democratize it, and since then each new year brought new concepts, new ideas, and trends, sometimes good, sometimes bad.

One of the lessons of all these years of change and new trends is that to succeed, you often have to ride the wave of change rather than just letting go. You can do this by exploring tomorrow’s trends and seeking to integrate those that may apply to you before everyone else does.

Here are eight web development trends that are expected to have a major global impact on the industry in 2018.

Chatbots : –

Being connected to users is more important than ever. Chatbots, written or oral conversation software, allow a website to be contacted daily, at any time, without having to continuously maintain a customer service department. The evolution of chatbots has given them new capabilities: they can answer the most common questions, redirect customers to information or web pages, or even help them complete a transaction. As consumers become accustomed to their presence and ways of interacting with them, they will expect all sites to have chatbots.

Progressive Web Apps: –

A recent study on mobile phone usage showed that apps accounted for 89% of the time spent on our smartphone. It would, therefore, be logical that the use of a format similar to a mobile application is well received by the general public.

The progressive web apps are applications that take advantage of the features of an internet browser, with a mobile application interface. This technology has many advantages, such as the ability to work offline, virtually no load time (because much of the information is stored in the cache of the phone), good reliability, and the ability to receive notifications. These progressive web apps can be designed faster than mobile applications, work for all users, and are generally easier to deploy and maintain, which is good for both the developer and the user.

Website Notifications / Web Push: –

Notifications are one of the best tools for mobile apps. The ability to send information directly to an interested user soon became very popular in all areas, from traffic info to sports scores or promotional sales. This type of communication also works with websites after the user authorizes the notifications. This provides greater customer engagement without the added costs of creating a mobile app that replaces a website. For More You Can See the website of Our http://www.vaibhavsinghsite.epizy.com , It is fully HTML5 Based Website where you can see the website notification .

One-Page Websites: –

These sites are composed of, well, one, very long, page. To navigate it, we simply scroll, or use links to go down or up the page to the desired section.

The biggest advantage of these sites is their simplicity. There is no intricate navigation or endless menus to explore. And this concept works very well on smartphones, where scrolling is the easiest navigation mode. It is a modern solution to simple online needs, and very inexpensive to develop and host For E.g : http://www.mrup.epizy.com

Static Websites: –

A static website is very basic. Each page is simply encoded in HTML5 or PHP coded and displays the static content for each visitor. Why, you ask, would you seemingly want to take a step back in web technology? For the sake of simplicity.

These websites are secure, load quickly, and are not expensive to develop. I imagine in the near future we’ll witness a resurgence of static sites in budget-conscious projects. Especially since they are now much more advanced than the first static sites, and much less boring or difficult to achieve.

User Interfaces in Motion: –

Interfaces have been a major concern for developers for several years. Even the best designs are pointless if the user is not able to find what he is looking for. Interfaces allow you to use animations or transitions that show users certain actions, or important parts, in addition to breathing life and class into projects.

This technology opens a wide range of customization, giving the developer a lot of options for building a very functional and attractive website. Examples of movements include easing, superposition, cloning, obscuration, parallax scrolling, matching, and games on dimensionality.

The Release of Flash: –

Flash was something very interesting for websites: it allowed developers to add animations or other movements. It has been used extensively for years, but it is now something that everyone should try to get rid of. Adobe announced this year that Flash will no longer be updated or released after 2020. In addition, it is incompatible with most phones. Rather than losing your audience, especially on the mobile version of your site, you should replace Flash with HTML5, which is quickly becoming the universal format on the internet.

Photo Content: –

The interest of a good photo has never been so great on the internet, especially because a good photo can allow (re)launch a discussion. This concept is not new since, in the golden age of the paper magazine, quality photos were in great demand to launch debates simply from the story contained in the image. A unique photo, full of individuality, but also conveying information, will be the key to success on the internet in 2018.

Conclusion: –

Trends are moving as fast as they arrive, as our technologies evolve. These new features can be used to attract and retain customers when they are well used. That’s why it’s important to look to the future for new ideas and inspiration and to stay ahead of the competition.
