*** F5 L7 BaDoS (Behavioral Analysis DoS Protection) ***



F5 AWAF Module is able to distinguish between "Valid" requests and "Bad Actor" requests, letting only the valid user requests through.
The system will detect a "Server Stress" condition and trigger a DDoS Attack Mitigation. When under Attack, the system will detect clients that exhibit "Anomalous Behavior" and who participate in the DDoS Attack.
Then, "Anomaly Detection Engine" will generate "Dynamic Signatures" that describe patterns of the Attack Traffic. These Signatures will be used to make Mitigation more efficient.

F5 BaDoS feature also Enables "TLS Signature Database" matching to block "Bad Actor Fingerprints", when trying to establish an SSL/TLS connection. Moreover, BaDoS Enables "Signatures Detection", before the connection is established, by using "Syn-cookie Protection" option.

About the "Mitigation Modes" of BaDoS feature, It provides the following options:

* Slows Down Requests from Bad Actor IP Addresses
* Rate Limits Requests from Anomalous IP Addresses
* Rate Limits All Requests based on the Server's Health
* Limits the number of Concurrent Connections from Anomalous IP Addresses
* Limits the number of All Concurrent Connections based on the Server's Health
* Proactively, performs All Protection Actions (Even Before an Attack)!
