ASM Demo 34 (Exercise): Using Layer 7 DoS Protection with F5 BIG-IP ASM HD

The purpose of this exercise is to show how F5 Application Security Manager protects web applications from layer 7 DoS attacks. You’ll start by launching several layer 7 DoS attacks against a web application. You’ll then create an ASM DoS profile and enable several features including proactive bot defense, bot signatures, and TPS-based detection. You’ll then attempt the same layer 7 DoS attacks and show using the ASM event log and the bot defense log that all attack traffic is being blocked. Finally, you’ll view DoS reporting and create a custom DoS report.
