How to stop a denial-of-service attack with Java and XDP
summary
Shows how to defend Java applications from distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks by using eXpress Data Path (XDP) for high-performance network traffic filtering and analysis. Explains that traditional firewalls often fail for massive attacks, mentions Cloudflare’s use of XDP, and demonstrates integrating XDP-based packet filtering with Java applications.
