Abstract: The present invention includes an integrated data traffic monitoring system monitoring data traffic received from a communication network and destined for a protected network. The monitoring system includes a security appliance and one or more security and monitoring technologies such as hardware and open source and proprietary software products. The security appliance and the security and monitoring technologies may be implemented as separate and distinct modules or combined into a single security appliance. The security and monitoring technologies monitor network data traffic on, or directed to, the protected network. The monitoring system collects data from each of the technologies into an event database and, based on the data, automatically generates rules directing one or more of the technologies to prevent subsequent communications traffic from specific sources from entering the protected network.

Abstract: Software, systems and methods for defeating DoS and DDoS attacks according to certain embodiments include detecting a DoS/DDoS attack, connecting to attacking node(s) by allowing a network handshake to complete between a network connected device and the attacking nodes. Then the network connected device under attack drops the traffic from the attacking node(s) rather that rejecting it. The acceptance and dropping is repeated until the attack is defeated.
