I've been working on an automated triager for the frequent volumetric DDOS we see against www.bbc.com & www.bbc.co.uk.
The idea is to use our edge access logs (stored in BigQuery) to isolate & describe the attack traffic then recommend any additional mitigations/filters etc. It also gives us a database of DDOS metrics/sources we can reference.
Obviously I had to add the obligatory pew-pew map.

In these troubled times, it’s nice to finally have a feel good, happy story
We're recruiting a Networking-focussed Architect in my team at the BBC.
You'll need to be UK-resident for boring tax/legal reasons but this is (IMO) a cool role - working on both corporate/internal & public/peering networks for BBC media & web content, Cloud connections etc. across multiple sites/DCs and with our vendors.
Happy to try to answer Qs informally.
Please share, esp. if you know good people who might be interested.

This is an awesome hack.
Looks like www.bbc.co.uk & www.bbc.com are blocked in Turkmenistan (since this time last week).
We monitor traffic to www.bbc.co.uk & www.bbc.com per country & got alerts that daily requests from Angola have dropped off loads recently.
Looking at the Angola traffic split by network AS. AS36907 traffic looks suspicious! Spidey sense triggered...the "before" traffic was *way* too consistent.
Digging in to the logs, looks like they removed their Fortigates on 6th Sept. which'd been sending 343k req/day for www.bbc.co.uk/ , every single day!
Gotta love being on the internet!
