One of them is the Layer 7 (HTTP) Attack reported in the picture below documenting how this kind of malware can evade the anti-DDoS solutions like Cloudfare. They seem interested in building tools to DDoS and boast about taking down services with OVH, Choopa, NFO – and if the hype is real, maybe even Rocket League servers.”.
