💡 DDoS Mitigation Approaches
Distributed denial of service attacks overwhelm infrastructure with traffic volume. Effective mitigation combines always-on traffic scrubbing, anycast network distribution, rate limiting, and the ability to quickly scale absorption capacity during attacks.
💡 Open Source Intelligence Methods
OSINT techniques leverage publicly available information for security research. DNS records, WHOIS data, certificate transparency logs, social media, and code repositories all provide valuable intelligence for threat analysis without requiring special access or tools.
