Distributed rate limiting, a new approach to prevent Bruteforce, DDOS, Credential Stuffing, etc.

  • Open Source code - https://github.com/fluxninja/aperture
  • Architecture
  • How is it different than a simple Firewall and API Gateway - This new approach separates rate limit infrastructure from application code and integrates using SDK. This helps with distributed architecture and makes it resilient to attacks at scale that could have brought down the app because while allowing access to users who need to send a burst of traffic for legitimate usage.

scanme vs nmap

The comparison between scanme and nmap for syn scanning 65k tcp ports! scanme completed the scan in just 3.1 seconds, while nmap took 9.54 seconds. That's almost 3 times faster!

After another round of coding I decided to re-post. I started to implement syn scan via raw sockets (added IPv6 support)
and after a few tests I noticed that is way slower if compared to the implementation that uses pcap (without parallelism), since I am using non-blocking sockets (I found this pretty interesting)... perhaps I am doing something wrong? I tried to tune the deadline decreasing down to 1ms but in that case, I gained speed but I lost accuracy in the results of the scan. Trying to figure ways of speeding up syn scan via sockets, the best effort test on a directly connected device took about 20s to complete the scan, is that decently acceptable?

If you're interested, you can find the code for scanme on GitHub: https://github.com/CyberRoute/scanme

Any feedback or contribution is super welcome!!! Thanks in advance
