DDoS Protection Scanner

Evaluate your site's resilience against distributed denial-of-service attacks.

DDoS attacks can take your site offline by overwhelming it with traffic. Our scanner checks for CDN presence, rate limiting, WAF protection, and other DDoS mitigation measures to assess your resilience against volumetric and application-layer attacks.

What This Scanner Does

Checks for CDN/WAF presence (Cloudflare, AWS Shield, Akamai), tests rate limiting on key endpoints, analyzes response headers for DDoS mitigation indicators, and checks for common application-layer attack vectors.

Why It Matters

A DDoS attack can take your site offline for hours or days, causing revenue loss and reputation damage. Without proper mitigation, even a small-scale attack from a single attacker can overwhelm an unprotected application.

Common Findings

  • No CDN or DDoS mitigation service detected
  • Missing rate limiting on public endpoints
  • No Web Application Firewall (WAF) detected
  • Server directly exposed without reverse proxy
