Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) Practice Question

An organization wants the ISP to automatically stop large UDP amplification floods before the attack saturates the 1 Gbps access circuit. The ISP already supports both remotely triggered black-hole (RTBH) routing and BGP FlowSpec. Which mitigation technique should the organization request to block only the malicious packets while still allowing legitimate traffic to reach the target subnet?

  • Activate host-based firewall rate limiting on the target server to throttle inbound UDP packets.

  • Inject a /32 null route via destination-based RTBH so the ISP discards all traffic to the victim host.

  • Implement source-based RTBH that drops traffic from the spoofed reflection networks.

  • Ask the ISP to deploy a BGP FlowSpec filter that matches the attack's UDP port and packet size.
