Reporting to FBI

DDoS is a federal crime.
Know how to fight back.

The FBI actively investigates and prosecutes DDoS attackers. Mirai Guard is fully aligned with U.S. law enforcement and helps victims navigate the federal reporting process.

FBI Intensifies Enforcement

The FBI has formally declared it is intensifying efforts to combat illegal DDoS attacks and botnet infrastructure. High-profile federal operations have dismantled major DDoS-for-hire networks and resulted in criminal prosecutions worldwide.

IC3 — Report Online

The FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center accepts DDoS attack reports from victims regardless of financial loss amount or when the incident occurred. Every report strengthens the federal case against criminal networks.

Our Mission: Expert DDoS Help Should Be Accessible to Everyone

Most small businesses and independent website owners can't afford enterprise-level cybersecurity expertise. When they're hit by a DDoS attack, they're left alone — without guidance, without options, without recourse. Mirai Guard exists to close that gap. We provide the same level of specialized consultation that large organizations pay thousands for, completely free, to anyone who needs it.

How It Works

Expert help in
three simple steps.

No technical background required. No fees. Create an account, describe your situation, and our specialists take it from there.

01
Create a Free Account

Sign up in under a minute. Your account gives you access to our consultation portal, where you can open tickets and communicate directly with our specialists. No payment information required — ever.

02
Describe Your Situation

Open a consultation ticket describing the attack — what happened, when, what your site runs on, and what impact you're experiencing. The more detail you can provide, the more precise our guidance will be.

03
Receive Expert Guidance

Our specialists analyze your case and respond with a personalized action plan — attack type identification, immediate mitigation steps, protection recommendations suited to your infrastructure and budget, and FBI reporting guidance if applicable.

What We Help With

Specialized guidance
for every attack scenario.

Our consultants have hands-on experience with the full spectrum of Layer 7 attack techniques. Whatever you're facing, we've seen it before.

Attack Identification & Classification

We analyze your logs and traffic patterns to identify exactly what type of attack you're facing — HTTP flood, Slowloris, POST flood, cache-bypass, credential stuffing — and explain what it means in plain language.

Immediate Mitigation Guidance

Step-by-step instructions to reduce the impact of an ongoing attack — server configuration adjustments, rate limiting, .htaccess rules, and platform-specific mitigations for Apache, Nginx, Cloudflare, and other common stacks.

Protection Recommendations

Unbiased guidance on the best protection solutions for your specific setup and budget — from free Cloudflare configurations to more robust alternatives. We recommend what fits your needs, not what benefits us.

Evidence Preservation Guidance

We walk you through exactly how to capture and preserve server logs, traffic data, and attack timelines in a format that's useful for law enforcement. Properly preserved evidence is critical for any subsequent FBI investigation.

FBI Reporting Assistance

We guide you through the process of filing a complaint with the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), helping you document the technical details in a format that maximizes the usefulness of your report to investigators.

Post-Attack Hardening

Once the immediate attack is handled, we help you build a stronger posture against future incidents — reviewing your infrastructure configuration, identifying vulnerabilities, and building a resilience plan appropriate for your platform.

Our Mission

Democratizing access
to expert protection.

Mirai Guard was built on a simple premise: no website owner should be left defenseless against a DDoS attack simply because they can't afford enterprise-level cybersecurity expertise. We provide the specialized knowledge that was previously available only to large organizations — completely free — to anyone who needs it.

We operate at the intersection of technical cybersecurity and civic responsibility. By helping victims understand, document, and report attacks through proper federal channels, we directly support the FBI's mission to combat cybercrime and protect the integrity of the American digital economy.

Application-Layer Expertise

Our consultants specialize exclusively in Layer 7 DDoS — the most technically complex and damaging category of application-layer attacks. This singular focus translates into deeper, more actionable guidance.

Human-Driven, Always

Every consultation is handled by real specialists — not automated responses or AI chatbots. The complexity of DDoS defense demands human judgment, and that's what every victim receives.

FBI-Aligned Operations

We actively support federal cybercrime enforcement by educating victims, facilitating IC3 reporting, and contributing technical documentation to investigations — treating our work as an extension of the broader public interest in cybersecurity.

Why Free Matters
Small Businesses Are the Most Targeted
Small and medium-sized businesses account for the majority of DDoS attack victims, yet are the least likely to have in-house cybersecurity expertise or budget for specialized help.
Most Attacks Are Never Reported
Without guidance, most victims don't know how to file an FBI complaint effectively. Unreported attacks allow criminal networks to operate with impunity — harming the broader internet ecosystem.
Expert Guidance Changes Outcomes
With proper technical guidance, many DDoS attacks can be mitigated using existing infrastructure and free tools. The gap isn't always resources — it's knowledge.
Collective Defense Strengthens Everyone
When more victims report attacks through official channels, law enforcement builds stronger cases. Every assisted IC3 complaint is a contribution to the collective security of the internet.

Open Research

Our methodology is
publicly documented.

The technical foundation behind Mirai Guard's consultation approach is grounded in original, openly published research. Our Layer 7 DDoS mitigation architecture — covering multi-layer packet processing pipelines, XDP-based kernel-level filtering, and formal threat modeling — is available for public peer review on GitHub.

We believe transparency in security research benefits the entire community. Publishing our architecture openly invites scrutiny, validates our approach, and contributes to the broader body of knowledge on application-layer DDoS defense.
