Researchers have unearthed a new DDoS attack vector called MadeYouReset, exploiting a flaw in HTTP/2 implementations. Unlike its notorious cousin Rapid Reset, MadeYouReset hasn’t yet been spotted in the wild. But don’t relax too much—this sneaky attack blends in with normal traffic, making it the ninja of DDoS exploits.

Hot Take:

Oh no, not another DDoS attack vector! Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the HTTP/2 waters, along comes MadeYouReset, making hackers giddy and cybersecurity experts groan in unison. It’s like they took Rapid Reset, gave it a makeover, and sent it back into the wild with a devious grin. Don’t worry though, patches are rolling out faster than you can say “stream cancellation.” It’s a classic case of “reset and regret.”

Key Points:

  • MadeYouReset is a new DDoS attack vector similar to Rapid Reset.
  • Discovered by Imperva and Tel Aviv University, exploiting HTTP2 flaws.
  • Impacts major projects including Apache Tomcat and Mozilla.
  • Patches are being released, but the attack blends with normal traffic.
  • MadeYouReset hasn’t been exploited in the wild yet, so breathe easy… for now.
