At Infoblox our customers have been telling us the same thing, as DDoS attacks have intensified among our ISP customers. Initially everything was lumped together under the \u2018DDoS\u2019 heading. Then they became known as \u2018NXDomain\u2019 attacks, but as we sifted through the PCAP files of the actual attacks across different customers in different regions, a number of unique patterns emerged."}
