The Tegridy.py script was used to execute a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack on the Intigriti platform, with full permission and within the scope of their bug bounty program. This attack exploited a vulnerability related to the appendage after a blockchain hash, utilizing a simple 25-line Python script. By leveraging different user agents, proxy lists, and running multiple instances across different terminals, the attack effectively pulled HTTP 200 and 403 status codes from varied URLs. This report provides a detailed analysis of the attack's mechanics, its impact on the platform, and recommendations for mitigation. Similar methods can be applied to generate reports for other companies, providing insights into their specific vulnerabilities and impacts. Notably, no authentication is needed to perform this attack, as the URLs and resources accessed are publicly available and do not require user login.
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks overwhelm a target system with a flood of internet traffic, making the service unavailable to legitimate users. These attacks typically exploit multiple compromised devices to generate the necessary traffic volume.
Intigriti is a leading bug bounty platform that connects security researchers with organizations seeking to improve their cybersecurity posture. It facilitates responsible vulnerability disclosure and rewards for legitimate security findings.
This report aims to analyze the Tegridy.py attack, focusing on its execution, the observed impact on the Intigriti platform, and potential defenses against similar future threats. Similar reports can be generated for other companies using the same method to understand and address their specific vulnerabilities. No authentication is required for accessing the targeted URLs, as they are publicly available on the web.
Tegridy.py is a Python-based script developed to perform a high-volume DDoS attack. The script leverages a vulnerability related to the appendage after a blockchain hash, utilizing various user agents, proxy lists, and multi-terminal execution to amplify its effectiveness.
Tegridy.py generates numerous HTTP requests targeting specific endpoints on the Intigriti platform. By systematically varying URL parameters, the script successfully returned HTTP 200 (OK) and HTTP 403 (Forbidden) status codes. The attack is enhanced by the use of different user agents, proxies, and the ability to run concurrently across multiple terminals, thus increasing the volume and distribution of requests.
- Rotating User Agents: The script randomizes user agents to mimic requests from various devices and browsers, making it harder to detect.
- Proxy List Integration: It can be used with a proxy list to further distribute requests and mask the source of the attack.
- URL Cycling: It cycles through different endpoint URLs, effectively spreading the attack across multiple resources.
- Multi-Terminal Execution: The script can be executed in multiple terminals simultaneously, with each instance generating random URL appendages, thereby increasing the attack's scale.
- Blockchain Exploitation: The attack specifically exploits the appendage after a blockchain hash, a unique vulnerability that complicates detection.
Tegridy.py is a concise script, only 25 lines long, but highly effective in its execution. It operates by generating random 8-character variations for a list of target URLs, rotating these URLs and user agents while sending HTTP GET requests. When combined with proxies and multi-terminal execution, the attack can flood the target server with requests, as observed in the successful retrieval of HTTP 200 and 403 responses.
# Code snippet from Tegridy.py
for variation in generate_random_variations(total_requests):
base_url = next(base_url_cycle)
user_agent = next(user_agent_cycle)
proxy = next(proxy_cycle) # Added for proxy support
url = base_url + variation
headers = {'User-Agent': user_agent}
try:
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers, proxies={'http': proxy, 'https': proxy})
print(f"Requested URL: {url}, Status Code: {response.status_code}")
except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
print(f"Request failed for URL: {url}, Error: {e}")
time.sleep(delay_between_requests)The Tegridy.py attack had a significant impact on the Intigriti platform, generating a high volume of traffic and successfully receiving HTTP 200 and 403 responses. The attack exploited the appendage after a blockchain hash, a critical vulnerability that could lead to substantial service disruption if not addressed.
During the attack, the server processed a significant number of requests, leading to increased CPU, memory, and bandwidth usage. The combined effect of proxy usage and multi-terminal execution amplified the attack's impact, potentially leading to performance degradation or temporary unavailability of services.
Users of the Intigriti platform could experience slower response times, difficulty accessing certain services, or even temporary outages. This would negatively affect the platform's reliability and user trust.
The attack specifically targeted the appendage after a blockchain hash, a unique point of vulnerability. Blockchain's decentralized nature was exploited to distribute the attack across multiple nodes, making detection and mitigation more challenging.
The attack utilized blockchain transactions to embed attack commands, which were then executed across multiple nodes in the network. This decentralized approach complicated efforts to trace and mitigate the attack, as there was no single point of origin.
- Blockchain Monitoring: Implement real-time monitoring of blockchain transactions for patterns indicative of coordinated attacks.
- Rate Limiting: Develop advanced rate-limiting algorithms that can adapt to distributed attack patterns.
- Decentralized Defense Mechanisms: Explore the use of blockchain technology to create decentralized defense systems that can respond to similar attacks.
Detection requires comprehensive traffic analysis to identify unusual patterns, such as high volumes of distributed requests from varied user agents. Blockchain analysis tools can also be used to detect suspicious transaction activity that may indicate the coordination of a DDoS attack.
- Traffic Analysis: Implement continuous monitoring of traffic to identify and filter out abnormal request patterns.
- Rate Limiting and Captchas: Use dynamic rate limiting combined with CAPTCHA challenges to block automated requests.
- Blockchain Security Measures: Regularly audit blockchain-related activities to detect and prevent the exploitation of decentralized technologies.
- Enhanced Traffic Filtering: Implement advanced filtering techniques to distinguish between legitimate users and malicious requests.
- Blockchain Security Audits: Conduct regular security audits of blockchain-related activities to identify and address potential vulnerabilities.
- User Education: Provide education for users and security researchers on how to recognize and report suspicious activity on the platform.
The Tegridy.py attack successfully demonstrated the potential vulnerabilities of the Intigriti platform to a sophisticated DDoS attack that leverages blockchain technology. By carefully coordinating requests, varying parameters, and utilizing proxies and multi-terminal execution, the attack was able to pull consistent HTTP 200 and 403 responses, highlighting areas for potential improvement in the platform's DDoS defenses.
- Invest in Advanced DDoS Protection: Employ advanced DDoS protection tools that can handle decentralized and blockchain-based attacks.
- Collaborate with Blockchain Experts: Engage with blockchain security experts to develop strategies for mitigating similar threats.
- Promote Ethical Research Practices: Continue to encourage ethical security research and responsible disclosure within the security community.
The methodology and approach used in the Tegridy.py attack can be applied to other organizations as well. Generating similar reports for different companies can reveal specific vulnerabilities, impacts, and necessary mitigations tailored to their systems and infrastructures. The attack exploits publicly accessible resources, so no authentication is needed to perform it.
