You don't need a lot of money or resources to pull one of these. Code is on Github: https://github.com/649/Memcrashed-DDoS-Exploit

Also the participants are sometimes innocently recruited victims for the attack. I blame app insecure defaults.

The trend since 2015 is to get worst as you will see in the bottom layer of this graph: https://www.digitalattackmap.com/

I did. I replied to OP question.And that was about DDos attacks in general not "HTTP/2 Rapid Reset attacks"

> Who has an incentive to carry out these DDos attacks?

Did you read the comment I was replying to?

Yes, “these attacks” referring to the sophisticated novel attacks under discussion in the article. No need to be defensive, just read it next time.

Are there DDoS attacks that are not sophisticated in form or execution? :-)
