# ssdpreflect

**Explanation**

The ssdpreflect event is triggered when a Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) reflection attack is detected. An attacker can use SSDP reflection to amplify the amount of traffic sent to a victim's network by sending SSDP request packets to vulnerable devices on the internet.

**What to Look For**

To examine the results of the ssdpreflect event, look for a significant increase in network traffic related to SSDP requests. This may indicate that an attacker is attempting to use SSDP reflection to overload the victim's network. Additionally, check for any devices on the network that may be vulnerable to SSDP reflection attacks and take steps to secure them, such as updating firmware or disabling unused services.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.fusion.vectra.ai/detection-models/library/denial-of-service/ssdpreflect.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
