DDoS Protection Objectives

Implemented Objective

1. Excessive traffic from a single IP or IP range

The system successfully detects and mitigates suspicious amounts of traffic originating from a single IP address or range, helping prevent basic DDoS attacks.

Remaining Objectives

2. Traffic from users sharing a single behavioral profile

Implement detection mechanisms for identifying floods of traffic from users that share similar behavioral profiles, such as:

• Device type
• Geolocation
• Web browser version
  This will help identify coordinated DDoS attacks involving large groups of similar devices.

3. Unexplained surge in requests to a single page or endpoint

Add analytics to detect sudden and unexplained increases in traffic to a specific page or endpoint of the web service. This includes tracking:

• Abnormal spikes in access to certain pages or APIs.
• Differentiating legitimate traffic spikes from potential DDoS attack vectors.

4. Odd traffic patterns

Implement a mechanism for identifying unusual traffic patterns, such as:

• Repetitive spikes at odd hours of the day.
• Traffic spikes that occur in a predictable or unnatural manner (e.g., sharp traffic increases every 10 minutes).
