AIC seminar: Denial of service attacks for a fee: Understanding ‘booter’ operators

Denial of service attacks for a fee Understanding ‘booter’ operators Monday 5 December 2016, 11.00 am–12.00 pm The most frequent users of ‘booter’ or ‘stresser’ services are online gamers. These services are used to gain an advantage over an opponent by ‘booting’ them off the game with a denial of service attack. Booter services have customer-facing websites, whereby payments are taken for subscriptions, and attacks are requested. The operation of booter services requires not just technical expertise, but also information about the market for denial of service attacks and how to monetise this. Dr Alice Hutchings will discuss how this knowledge is obtained, exposure to these services, and the escalation from using to operating booter services, and to other forms of cybercrime. Dialogue Centre 4 National Circuit Barton, ACT 2601
