Compliance Node Overview
MITRE CAPEC-488 (HTTP Flood) is a standard-level attack pattern in the MITRE Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification. An adversary may execute a flooding attack using the HTTP protocol with the intent to deny legitimate users access to a service by consuming resources at the application layer such as web services and their infrastructure. These attacks use legitimate session-based HTTP GET requests designed to consume large amounts of a server's resources. Since these are legitimate sessions this attack is very difficult to detect. Likelihood of attack: Unknown. Maps to weaknesses CWE-770. Relates to MITRE ATT&CK T1499.002.
