Mike Matchett: So so people being a little bit more obtuse or opaque about not just sending, you know, web requests and not just sending, you know, resolution requests, DNS requests, but, uh, asking for other kinds of things that would flood the lower level network protocols in a way. Right. You know. Omer Yoachimik: Exactly. And and while DNS is technically a layer seven, uh, protocol, we still kind of bucket it into the network layer, uh, because it's it's a very important component, um, for, for network activity. But, you know, when we look at the these network layer attacks, if we kind of, you know, if we take the, the DNS floods here that you see on the kind of the left hand side, and then in the middle, we have the amplification together. Um, DNS, uh, account for almost 53% of all DDoS attacks. So that's one in every two, uh, layer three for DDoS attacks. I should I should mention, uh, then we have some other things like syn floods, which are very popular that abuse the TCP protocol handshake, uh, UDP floods and and even Mirai here. You know, we mentioned Mirai earlier. So that's the, uh, fifth most, uh, common attack vector, uh, still very much active.
