摘要:
A method for passing data from a first processing thread to a second processing thread, wherein the first processing thread produces data to be processed by the second processing thread. The data from the first processing thread may be inserted into objects that in turn are inserted into a queue of objects to be processed by the second thread. The queue may be a circular array, wherein the array includes a pointer to a head and a pointer to a tail, wherein only the first processing thread modifies the tail pointer and only the second processing thread modifies the head pointer.

A method for mitigating a denial of service attack includes determining, for a client (105), a number of requests (115) being transmitted to a server (110) and determining, for the client, that the number of requests for a time period is greater than a top talker threshold. The method includes classifying the client as a top talker based on the number of requests being greater than the top talker threshold and identifying, for the client, additional requests being transmitted to the server. The method also includes determining whether a number of the additional requests matches one or more attack patterns and preventing one or more of the additional requests from being transmitted to the server if the number of additional requests that matches one or more attack patterns is greater than a first threshold.

Embodiments relate to systems, devices, and computing-implemented methods for providing DoS mitigation using a list of persistent clients generated using network flow data. Daily flow counts can be incremented once per date for unique flow combinations in the network flow data that are associated with at least one network interaction that occurred on that date. A candidate list of persistent clients can be created based on the daily flow counts, and the candidate list of persistent clients can be filtered and ranked, and the list of persistent clients can be selected based on the rankings.

Methods and systems for detecting and responding to Denial of Service (“DoS”) attacks comprise: detecting a DoS attack or potential DoS attack against a first server system comprising one or more servers; receiving, at a second server system comprising one or more servers, network traffic directed to the first server system; subjecting requesting clients to one or more challenge mechanisms, the challenge mechanisms including one or more of challenging requesting clients to follow through HTTP redirect responses, challenging requesting clients to request Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) session resumption, or challenging requesting clients to store and transmit HTTP cookies; identifying one or more non-suspect clients, the one or more suspect clients corresponding to requesting clients that successfully complete the one or more challenge mechanisms; identifying one or more suspect clients, the one or more suspect clients corresponding to requesting clients that do not successfully complete the one or more challenge mechanisms; and forwarding, by the second server system, traffic corresponding to the one or more non-suspect clients to the first server system. Once a client has been validated, clients may communicate directly with application servers in a secure manner by transparently passing through one or more intermediary proxy servers.
摘要:
Various embodiments of the invention disclosed herein provide techniques for mitigating a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack on a targeted computer system. A border gateway protocol (BGP) controller receives, via a first router, a BGP message that includes an indicator indicating that a computer system associated with the first router is under a DDoS attack. In response to receiving the BGP message, the BGP controller, in performs one or more operations to mitigate the DDoS attack. As a result, the time between detection of a DDoS attack and mitigating the attack is reduced relative to prior approaches. After receiving the BGP message indicating a DDoS attack is in progress, the DDoS attack mitigation platform automatically takes steps to mitigate the DDoS attack without further manual intervention. Consequently, the targeted computer system recovers more quickly and begins to respond to legitimate network requests sooner relative to prior approaches.
