*Do you know what an OSI Application layer 7 is?

Suggested page: How does OSI Application layer 7 DDoS attack work?

A Layer 7 DDoS attack targets the application layer (Layer 7) of the OSI model, the layer responsible for delivering web content to users. Unlike network-layer attacks that flood bandwidth, Layer 7 attacks aim to overwhelm application resources like CPU, memory, or database connections by mimicking legitimate user behavior.

These attacks use normal-looking HTTP/HTTPS requests, often targeting resource-heavy endpoints like login pages or search bars. Because the requests appear valid, web servers process them as usual. However, when thousands of these requests hit at once, often from a botnet, the backend gets overloaded. This leads to slow response times, timeouts, or even complete downtime.

What makes Layer 7 DDoS attacks especially dangerous is how well they blend in with legitimate traffic. They often use real headers, session tokens, and cookies, making them nearly impossible to distinguish from genuine traffic. Traditional firewalls and DDoS tools often miss them because they rely on volume-based detection. Without serious application-level monitoring, these attacks can take down services before anyone realizes what’s happening.
