Learn how the Vercel Firewall mitigates against DoS and DDoS attacks
What are DDoS and DoS attacks? ; Attackers may use UDP floods to overwhelm web servers and host port under attack. The receiving host checks unreachable applications and ports (sent by design by the attacker) associated with these datagrams and responds back with a “Destination Unreachable” response packet. The attackers may also spoof the return IP address making it unreachable as well. As more and more such packets are received, the host becomes unresponsive to other client requests. ...

Intrusion Detection System – This is an advance security mechanism, which is configured in the network to monitor and analyze the data packets transmitted over it. This security device works on the principle of predefined parameters, which are used to maintain security. These predefined parameters are inclusive of techniques, which can be used by an attacker, to breach security. Whenever a predefined parameter is matched with current scenario of the network, this security system alerts the administrator and executes the defined security actio ...
Broadly speaking, DoS and DDoS attacks can be divided into three types: Volume Based Attacks Includes UDP floods, ICMP floods, and other spoofed-packet floods. The attack’s goal is to saturate the bandwidth of the attacked site, and magnitude is measured in bits per second (Bps). Protocol Attacks Includes SYN floods, fragmented packet attacks, Ping of Death, Smurf DDoS, and more. This type of attack consumes actual server resources, or those of intermediate communication equipment, such as firewalls and load balancers, and is measured in pack ...
7 min read ; At CloudFlare, we deal with large DDoS attacks every day. Usually, these attacks are directed at large companies or organizations that are reluctant to talk about their details.
