  • Understanding the Different Types of DDoS Attacks: Volumetric, Protocol, and Application Layer

    Understanding the Different Types of DDoS Attacks: Volumetric, Protocol, and Application Layer

    DDoS attacks are among the most frequent cyber threats on the internet. Learn how the main types — volumetric, protocol, and application — work and how to defend your infrastructure.

    What is a DDoS attack?

    DDoS stands for Distributed Denial of Service. It is a malicious attempt to make a service, server, or network unavailable by overwhelming it with an excessive volume of traffic or requests.

    Unlike a traditional DoS attack launched by a single machine, DDoS uses multiple compromised devices (botnets) to launch a coordinated and large-scale attack.

    🔹 Most common types of DDoS attacks

    DDoS attacks are generally classified into three main categories based on the OSI model layer they target:

    1. 🌊 Volumetric Attacks (Layers 3 and 4)

    How they work:

    Flood the target with massive volumes of data (UDP, ICMP, TCP packets), aiming to saturate the bandwidth of the target network or its upstream infrastructure.

    Examples:

    • UDP Flood
    • ICMP Flood (Ping Flood)
    • Amplification Attacks using DNS, NTP, or Memcached servers

    Characteristics:

    • Extremely high traffic volume (Gbps or Tbps)
    • Easy to execute using public tools and botnets
    • Immediate impact on overall connectivity

    Mitigation:

    • Cloud-based mitigation services
    • Smart blackholing and traffic filtering
    • ACL rules and rate limiting at the edge

    2. 🧱 Protocol Attacks (Layers 3 and 4)

    How they work:

    Exploit vulnerabilities in TCP/IP protocol stacks to exhaust resources of servers, firewalls, or load balancers.

    Examples:

    • SYN Flood: Initiates TCP connections without completing them
    • ACK Flood: Sends invalid ACK packets to confuse routing logic
    • Ping of Death, Smurf Attacks

    Characteristics:

    • Use seemingly legitimate packets
    • Target connection/session capacity and memory buffers
    • Lower volume but high impact

    Mitigation:

    • Stateful firewalls with deep packet inspection
    • Invalid packet filtering
    • TCP challenge-response mechanisms (SYN cookies)

    3. 🧠 Application Layer Attacks (Layer 7)

    How they work:

    Target web applications or APIs by mimicking real user behavior to consume backend resources (CPU, memory, database queries).

    Examples:

    • HTTP Flood (GET or POST)
    • Slowloris: Keeps connections open slowly to exhaust web servers
    • Login, search, or checkout abuse

    Characteristics:

    • Difficult to detect — traffic appears legitimate
    • Low bandwidth, high resource impact
    • Requires behavioral analysis and adaptive filtering

    Mitigation:

    • Web Application Firewalls (WAFs)
    • Rate limiting and bot detection
    • CAPTCHA, MFA, and behavioral threat intelligence

    ⚠️ DDoS attack consequences

    • Partial or total service outage
    • Revenue and brand damage
    • High mitigation and recovery costs
    • Operational distraction for technical teams — leaving doors open for other threats

  • 3 Common Mistakes When Choosing Hosting — and How to Avoid Them

    3 Common Mistakes When Choosing Hosting — and How to Avoid Them

    Don’t let a bad hosting decision cost you time and money. Learn the 3 most common mistakes companies make — and how to avoid them.

    Choosing a hosting provider may seem straightforward — until something goes wrong. Many businesses choose based solely on price or speed to launch, and later regret it. In this article, we reveal the three most common hosting mistakes and what to look for to ensure stability, performance, and expert support

    1️⃣ Focusing only on price

    The cheapest plan often hides major issues:

    • Frequent downtime during traffic spikes
    • Limited resources (CPU, RAM, bandwidth)
    • Slow or unresponsive support

    💡 Solution: Look for value, not just low cost. Consider SLA, dedicated resources, and the provider’s reputation.

    2️⃣ Overlooking the infrastructure type

    Many users don’t even know whether they’re getting:

    • Shared hosting
    • VPS
    • Cloud
    • Dedicated
    • Bare metal

    Each structure has a direct impact on speed, security, and scalability.

    💡 Solution: Know your application. For demanding systems, cloud, dedicated, or bare metal hosting is often the right call.

    3️⃣ Ignoring technical support

    Support is underestimated — until an outage hits and nobody responds.

    • Limited to business hours
    • Slow ticket resolution
    • Lack of skilled technicians

    💡 Solution: Choose providers with 24/7 expert support, clear SLAs, and fast resolution times. Peace of mind comes from knowing help is always available.

    Hosting is not just about disk space or bandwidth — it’s about ensuring the stability of your digital operation.

    🔵 At L7CORE, we offer more than just servers. We deliver infrastructure built for resilience, with 24/7 expert support and tailored hosting solutions.

  • Migrating to a Professional Data Center: The Essential Checklist

    Migrating to a Professional Data Center: The Essential Checklist

    Planning to migrate your infrastructure to a professional data center? Here’s a technical checklist to ensure a secure, efficient and scalable transition.

    Why migrate to a professional data center?

    Growing businesses inevitably hit infrastructure limits. A professional data center offers:

    • High availability (uptime)
    • Physical and cyber risk reduction
    • On-demand scalability
    • Consistent performance with expert support

    But a smooth transition starts with a proper checklist.

    ✅ Essential Checklist for a Safe Migration

    1. 📦 Audit your current inventory

    • What systems and applications will be moved?
    • Are there any interdependencies?
    • Any legacy systems that need adaptation?

    Perform a full technical mapping before moving anything.

    2. 🔐 Define your security requirements

    • Do you need dedicated firewalls?
    • What encryption standards are in place?
    • Are you subject to LGPD, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, etc.?

    The data center must offer compliance, physical isolation, and continuous monitoring.

    3. 🌐 Plan your connectivity

    • Will you need a dedicated link, BGP, or multiple carriers?
    • Is there redundancy?

    Low latency and resilience are non-negotiable for real-time services.

    4. 📈 Forecast growth and scalability

    • How fast is your traffic or resource usage growing?
    • Can the provider scale vertically and horizontally?

    Plan for tomorrow, not just today.

    5. 👨‍💻 Confirm support and SLA

    • Is 24/7 expert human support included?
    • What’s the average incident response time?
    • Can you speak directly with engineers?

    Without real support, even great infrastructure fails.

    6. 🔄 Test before going live

    • Run load tests, failover simulations, and validation
    • Ensure data integrity
    • Plan for rollback in case of failure

    A safe migration includes backup, validation, and rollback.

    Migrating to a professional data center is a strategic leap. Done right, it gives your company stability, growth, and peace of mind.

    🔵 At L7CORE, we help businesses migrate with precision and performance. Our technical team supports every step of the journey.
