PMSSDP has a Bandwidth Amplification Factor (BAF) of 4.68:1 The Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) PMSSDP DDoS attack traffic consists of SSDP HTTPU ( HTTP/UDP) packets sourced from port 32414/UDP. To differentiate the Plex Media Server attack vector from the generic SSDP (DDoS) Reflection/AmplificationĪttack vector, it has been designated as the Plex Media SSDP (PMSSDP) (DDoS) Reflection/Amplification attack.
SSDP maximum BAF has been recorded at 30.8:1. The response to an SSDP M-SEARCH request. SSDP has a minimum Bandwidth Amplification Factor (BAF) of 2.3:1, SSDP maximum BAF is determined by Reflection/Amplification attack against third parties. ProblemĪn Internet Accessible SSDP Service can be abused for a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) PMSSDP listens on port 32414/UDP and port 32410/UDP.
Translation (NAT) forwarding rule to the router, exposing the Plex Media Server UPnP enabled service registration In the event ofĭiscovering a local router that has SSDP support enabled, the Plex Media Server will add a Network Address On start-up, the system will initiate a local scan, via SSDP, for other compatible devices. Nightawk X10 Router together with Network Attached Storage (NAS) Devices such as Drobo, Netgear and Synology.
The system can be installed on Windows, LinuxĪnd Mac computers and is compatible with other media streaming systems, such as NAVIDIA SHIELD, Netgear WMA for music and JPG, PNG, RAW and TBN for photos. The system supports various media file types such as MP4, MKV, MOV, DIVX for moves, MP3, M4A, FLAC,
The Plex Media Server is a personal media library and streaming solution, that stores and transmitsĬontent from a central location to other media devices on which Plex client software has been installed. Windows XP Service Pack 2, relies on port 2869/TCP for SSDP event notification. SSDP listens on port 1900/UDP and port 5000/TCP. Transfer Protocol (HTTP) over the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) for both multicast and unicast data UPnP provides a specification called Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) that allowsĭevices to dynamically discover the services offered by each other. Objective is to enable devices to connect and to exchange data so that devices can use their respective Of new peripheral hardware that has been made available via a communications network. UPnP was developed with the ability to reconfigure the operating system in response to the detection Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a technology pioneered and developed by the Microsoft Corporation.
