A Radware glossary is intended to be a list of specialized words with their definitions that are used in
the Radware technical environment. Some of the words belong to the public domain, and some are

Term
Definition
Anomaly
An anomaly is unusual or unexpected behavior of traffic patterns or a
protocol.
Attack
An Attack, with an upper-case letter “A” is a realization of a threat, a
malicious action taken against a network, host or service.
Attack List
An Attack List is a database of known attackers as defined in the
Signatures Database.
Attack Signature
Database
Radware’s Attack signature database contains signatures of known
attacks.
These signatures are included in the predefined groups and profiles
supplied by Radware to create protection policies in the Connect and
Protect Table. Each attack group consists of attack signatures with
common characteristics intended to protect a specific application or range
of IPs.
Behavioral DoS (BDoS)
Behavioral DoS (Behavioral Denial of Service) protection defends
networks from zero day network-flood attacks that jam available network
bandwidth with spurious traffic, denying use of network resources for
legitimate users.
BDoS profiles do this by identifying the footprint of the anomalous traffic.
Network-flood protection types include:
•
SYN Flood
•
TCP Flood, including TCP Fin + Ack Flood, TCP Reset Flood
•
TCP Syn + Ack Flood, TCP Fragmentation Flood
•
UDP Flood
•
ICMP Flood
•
IGMP Flood
Black List
A Black List defines the IP addresses that are always blocked without
inspection.
Black lists are used as exceptions for security policies/rules, blocking all
traffic generated by IP addresses in the Black List.
