DDoS-for-hire services, also known as booters, have commoditized DDoS attacksand enabled abusive subscribers of these services to cheaply extort, harass andintimidate businesses and people by knocking them offline. However, due to theunderground nature of these booters, little is known about their underlyingtechnical and business structure. In this paper we empirically measure manyfacets of their technical and payment infrastructure. We also perform ananalysis of leaked and scraped data from three major booters---Asylum Stresser,Lizard Stresser and VDO---which provides us with an in-depth view of theircustomers and victims. Finally, we conduct a large-scale payment interventionin collaboration with PayPal and evaluate its effectiveness. Based on ouranalysis we show that these services are responsible for hundreds of thousandsof DDoS attacks and identify potentially promising methods of increasingbooters' costs and undermining these services.
