Recursive HTTP GET Flood

What is a recursive HTTP GET flood attack?

Recursive HTTP GET flood is a type of HTTP flood DDoS attack where the attacker requests a number of pages from a website, analyzes the responses and then recursively requests every object available on the website.

As long as recursive requests created this way look legitimate, using this approach significantly lowers the probability of detecting the attack.

If you need to protect your website from DDoS attacks, we recommend using StormWall for Web.
