FastNetMon was recently featured on the APNIC blog, where FastNetMon Founder Pavel Odintsov reflects on a decade of the DDoS landscape while building the open source DDoS detection platform. What started as a small proof-of-concept tool in a home lab has grown into a globally deployed system trusted by ISPs, hosting providers, and enterprises.

The article explores how DDoS attacks have evolved over the last ten years—from simple volumetric floods to multi-vector, automated campaigns—and how FastNetMon has adapted in response, adding flow-based detection, BGP integrations, and high-speed analytics. We also share lessons learned from developing an operator-focused, high-performance security tool, including the importance of simplicity, performance, and community-driven development.

Through every feature and improvement, operator feedback has been at the heart of FastNetMon’s growth, helping make DDoS detection fast, reliable, and accessible. Join us down memory lane and read the full article on APNIC here.
