Prevent Data Mining ASM and LTM

Hi,

 

 

I don't know of any DOS protection at the HTTP layer in ASM. If you can map out the logic for how to determine one or more clients is attacking the application, you could potentially write an iRule to detect and protect against the attack. I'm not sure how easy it would be to detect a distributed DOS attack though. Logically what are you thinking you'd like to look for?

 

 

This might be a good request for enhancement. If you want F5 to consider adding this type of functionality, you could open a case with F5 Support requesting it.
