In this presentation, I will talk about how DDoS attacks were carried out generally in the last 11 years and how they innovated since then; I will also present more specific details about attacks against government websites from bundestag.de in 2012 to ukraine-wiederaufbauen.de and others in February - August 2023. This talk aims to also entertain but mostly educate on how to mitigate current attacks. You can expect technical, not political slides.
