A DDoS mitigation provider announced it has mitigated the greatest HTTPS DDoS attack launched by a botnet known as Mantis in June 2022. Approximately, 5000 hijacked virtual machines and potent servers were used by the Mantis botnet to produce 26 million requests per second.
The Mantis botnet used only 5,000 bots to launch the 26M HTTPS requests per second attack, an average of 5,200 HTTPS rps per bot. It’s difficult enough to generate 26M HTTP requests, but Mantis accomplished it via HTTPS. This demonstrates this botnet’s distinct strength.
Mantis includes a variety of VM platforms and enables operating a variety of HTTP proxies to carry out the attacks. Servers and virtual machines, which have substantially greater resources, are the main focus of Mantis targets. Most Mantis attacks (36%) targeted businesses in the IT and telecommunications sector, followed by the news, media, and publishing (15%), gaming (12%), and finance sectors (10%).
Mantis will probably be involved in several additional attacks over the upcoming months since researchers believe it to be the most potent botnet to date.
