Measuring Internet region: Africa
Radar
Eugene Bogomazov from Qrator Labs presented a paper during the African Peering
and Interconnection Forum that took place on August 23, 2022. The paper
highlights the results and conclusions of measurements taken from several
networks in African countries. We publish these results here through this blog.
In this research, Qrator.Radar team evaluated the African Internet segment and
its current state: how many ISPs operate in the region and their relations.
Also, the study highlights routing security metrics and transit reliability.

The 2022 National Internet Segment Reliability Research
Reports
The National Internet Segment Reliability Research explains how the outage of a
single Autonomous System might affect the connectivity of the impacted region
with the rest of the world. Generally, the most critical AS in the region is the
dominant ISP on the market, but not always.
As the number of alternate routes between ASes increases (the "Internet" stands
for "interconnected networks" - and each network is an AS), so does the
fault-tolerance and stability of the Internet across the globe. Although some
paths are more important than others from the beginning, establishing as many
alternate routes as possible is the only viable way to ensure an adequately
robust network.
The global connectivity of any given AS, whether an international giant or a
regional player, depends on the quantity and quality of its path to Tier-1 ISPs.
Usually, Tier-1 implies an international company offering global IP transit
service over connections with other Tier-1 providers. Nevertheless, there is no
guarantee that such connectivity will always be maintained. For many ISPs at all
"tiers", losing connection to even one Tier-1 peer would likely render them
unreachable from some parts of the world.

Q4 2021 DDoS attacks and BGP incidents
Reports
2021 was an action-packed year for Qrator Labs.
It started with the official celebration of our tenth year anniversary,
continued with massive routing incidents, and ended with the infamous Meris
botnet we reported back in September.
Now it is time to look at the events of the last quarter of 2021. There are
interesting details in the BGP section, like the new records in route leaks and
hijacking ASes, but first things first, as we start with the DDoS attacks
statistics.

New botnet with lots of cameras and some routers
Qrator
DDoS attacks send ripples on the ocean of the Internet, produced by creations of
various sizes - botnets. Some of them feed at the top of the ocean, but there
also exists a category of huge, deep water monstrosities that are rare and
dangerous enough they could be seen only once in a very long time.
November 2021 we encountered, and mitigated, several attacks from a botnet, that
seems to be unrelated to one described and/or well-known, like variants of
Mirai, Bashlite, Hajime or Brickerbot.
Although our findings are reminiscent of Mirai, we suppose this botnet is not
based purely on propagating Linux malware, but a combination of brute forcing
and exploiting already patched CVEs in unpatched devices to grow the size of it.
Either way, to confirm how exactly this botnet operates, we need to have a
sample device to analyze, which isn’t our area of expertise.
This time, we won’t give it a name. It is not 100% clear what we are looking at,
what are the exact characteristics of it, and how big this thing actually is.
But there are some numbers, and where possible, we have made additional
reconnaissance in order to better understand what we’re dealing with.
But let us first show you the data we’ve gathered, and leave conclusions closer
to the end of this post.

Q3 2021 DDoS attacks and BGP incidents
Reports
The third quarter of 2021 brought a massive upheaval in the scale and intensity
of DDoS attacks worldwide.
It all led to September when together with Yandex, we uncovered one of the most
devastating botnets since the Mirai and named it Meris, as it was held
accountable for a series of attacks with a very high RPS rate. And as those
attacks were aimed all over the world, our quarterly statistics also changed.
This quarter, we've also prepared for your consideration a slice of statistics
on the application layer (L7) DDoS attacks. Without further ado, let us
elaborate on the details of DDoS attacks statistics and BGP incidents for Q3,
2021.
