This report explains reflection and amplification DDoS techniques that abuse publicly accessible UDP services to flood victims by forging source addresses and leveraging high-response amplification (examples: NTP "monlist" up to 557x, CharGEN up to 359x, DNS 28–54x, SSDP 31x). It describes how abused servers become collateral victims and urges operators to secure, reconfigure, or restrict UDP services to prevent participation in DDoS attacks.
