Session
Distributed denial-of-service attacks are a persistent problem in online gaming. Attackers can use inexpensive and easily accessible “booter” services to disrupt matches, target opponents, and interfere with game infrastructure. But what do these services actually look like behind the scenes?
In this talk, Iiro Uusitalo explores the DDoS-for-hire ecosystem from an offensive security perspective. He explains how threat actors find and use booter services and explains how these services operate under the hood.
The talk includes a technical walkthrough of legally obtained source code from a real booter service, offering a rare look at its architecture, implementation, and attack capabilities. By examining the tooling from an attacker’s perspective, the session reveals how the ecosystem works—and what security professionals can learn from it.
