Abstract: Highlights•We propose a novel reflective amplification DDoS attack called store-and-flood DRDoS.•SF-DRDoS gains a high amplification factor by storing prepared data on reflectors.•We implement prototypes on two Kademlia networks, Kad and BT-DHT.•Real-world experiments achieves an average amplification factor of 2400 in Kad.•The upper bound of attack bandwidth could be 670 Gbps and 10 Tbps for Kad and BTDHT.
