*Do you know what an OSI Application layer 7 is?

A Layer 7 DDoS attack targets the application layer of the OSI model, the same layer that handles web requests. Unlike traditional DDoS attacks that flood networks, Layer 7 attacks focus on exhausting server resources, such as CPU, memory, or database capacity, by mimicking legitimate user behavior. These attacks use real HTTP/HTTPS requests with valid headers and session data, making them difficult to detect.

Common Layer 7 DDoS tactics include:

HTTP Floods: Massive volumes of GET or POST requests requiring full backend processing
Slowloris: Opens many connections and sends partial headers to keep them alive
Recursive Requests: Targets complex functions like search or filters that use heavy resources
SSL/TLS Handshake Abuse: Repeatedly initiates encrypted connections to drain CPU power
API Abuse: Targets exposed API endpoints to trigger backend workflows or integrations

By targeting high-resource functions such as login pages, attackers degrade performance or cause complete outages. Security tools that don't monitor behavior at the application layer may miss the threat entirely.
