DDoS Protection with Anti-DDoS Pro

Anti-DDoS Pro service is an attack protection service which provides DDoS, HTTP flood, and WAF protection services.

Alibaba Cloud Security Anti-DDoS Pro service is an attack protection service designed by the Alibaba Cloud research and development team.

Anti-DDoS Pro provides DDoS, HTTP flood, and WAF protection services, and is capable to defend against three to seven layers of DDoS attacks such as SYN flood, UDP flood, ACK flood, ICMP flood, DNS query flood, NTP reply flood, HTTP flood attack, and Web application attacks.

When you set up an Anti-DDoS Pro instance to protect your service, Anti-DDoS Smart Defense is enabled by default. You can modify DDoS protection policies based on your needs.

On the Protection Settings page, click Anti-DDoS Protection Policies and then you can see the Scrubbing Mode.

Scrubbing mode provides Smart Defense which bases its decisions on historical traffic data. If this is the first time that you set up an Anti-DDoS Pro instance to protect your service, note that it takes Smart Defense about three days to learn your traffic pattern to provide the best protection. If attacks are launched against your service within these three days, you can mitigate attacks by limiting the number of new connections from specific IP addresses. If Smart Defense fails to meet your needs under the normal mode, you can set the mode to strict to enable the most rigorous protection.

Select an Anti-DDoS Pro instance and click Modify Smart Defense Mode in the Actions column. In the Modify Smart Defense Mode dialog box, select a scrubbing mode. Anti-DDoS Pro supports the following scrubbing modes:

  1. Low: This mode scrubs traffic that displays common attack patterns. The mode provides moderate protection capabilities and has a low false positive rate.
  2. Normal: This mode scrubs traffic that displays common and likely attack patterns. The mode maintains an optimal balance between protection and false positives.
  3. Strict: This mode provides the most rigorous protection against malicious traffic and may cause a certain number of false positives.

For other policies like Blacklist and whitelist, Deactivate black holes and Block traffic, you can go to this document.
