The following table contains key features of the F5® Herculon DDoS Hybrid Defender®.

Features:
DDoS Mitigation: All layer 3, 4, & 7 DoS/DDoS threats including flood/sweep with
Src/Dst IP address awareness, UDP / DNS / HTTP / TCP / SIP / SYN /
ACK / RST / FIN using sub-second detection, network behavior
analysis, 120+ DDoS vectors, application anomaly detection,
dynamic filtering, protocol analysis, source tracking,
control policies, and more
DDoS
Auto-Threshold Setting:
Automatically generated and adjusted for all DDoS network
and application threshold values for TPS, PPS, and requests
per second
Malicious Bot Defense: Proactive bot defense, captcha challenges, headless browser
detection, bot categorizations identifying severity and good/bad
bots, device fingerprinting
IP Intelligence: Bad actor information can be communicated across other DHD
devices; F5 IP Intelligence licensed services provide global DDoS
threat intelligence feeds
DDoS Detection: Out-of-band SPAN port, Netflow monitoring
SSL Inspection (Decryption): Advanced, purpose-built TLS stack. Hardware accelerated: Key
exchange and bulk inspection; RC4, DES, 3DES, AES-CBC, AESGCM, AES-GMAC, RSA, DSA, DH, ECDSA, ECDH, MD5, SHA, SHA2
ciphers. Keys protected by F5 Secure Vault. FIPS 140-2 Levels 1, 2,
and 3 available
Reporting and Forensics: Dashboard summary current attack and drill-down reporting,
standard and customizable charts and graphs; blocked/passed
traffic; app health, bot signatures; Top 10 threats/destination
IPs/source_IPs; sys mon; max # of attacks; IPs participating in
attack (dashboard)
Mitigation Techniques: Rate limiting/blocking, connection limiting, source limiting, shunning/
denylisting/allowlisting, BGP route injection and RTBH (source and
destination), dynamic signature filtering. Volumetric/cloud scrubbing
redirection: manual or automated.
Management: REST; CLI, Web UI; RBAC management
Deployment Modes: Asymmetric Inline active/inactive; VLAN bridge mode; OOB
Span/TAP monitoring with Netflow, packet data; appliance or
virtual edition (software)
Event Notifications: SNMP, Syslog, email
Cloud Signaling: BGP / BGP Flowspec route injection for manual or automated
redirection to licensed F5 Silverline or third-party volumetric
scrubbing solutions. REST API route activation with licensed
F5 Silverline DDoS Protection cloud-based scrubbing.
High Performance (HA): Support HA active/passive
