## HaProxy DDoS protection system PoC
The system provides functionality to protect certain (or all) resources on HaProxy from L7 DDoS attacks.
It works by requiring a user to have a specific cookie issued after successful captcha completion. If a user does not have the cookie, he gets redirected to a special captcha page.
It is by no means a cure for all ills, but should help you mitigate a moderate DDoS attack without disrupting the service.
#### How it works
![alternative text](http://www.plantuml.com/plantuml/proxy?cache=no&src=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mora9715/haproxy_ddos_protector/master/docs/interaction_diagram.txt)
#### How to test
- export hcaptcha sitekey and secret:
```bash
export HCAPTCHA_SITEKEY=xxxXXxxx
export HCAPTCHA_SECRET=xxxXXxxx
```
They can be obtained after creating a free account on https://www.hcaptcha.com/
- run docker compose:
```bash
docker compose up
```
- visit *http://127.0.0.1*
For demostration purposes DDoS-protection mode was enabled by default.
#### CLI
The system comes with CLI. It can be used to manage global and per-domain protection:
```bash
Usage: ./ddos-cli <command> [options]
Command line interface to manage per-domain and global DDoS protection.
optional arguments:
-h, --help Show this help message and exit.
Commands:
Global management:
./ddos-cli global status Show status of global server ddos mode.
./ddos-cli global enable Enable global ddos mode.
./ddos-cli global disable Disable global ddos mode.
Domain management:
./ddos-cli domain list List all domains with ddos mode on.
./ddos-cli domain status <domain> Get ddos mode status for a domain.
./ddos-cli domain add <domain> Enable ddos mode for a domain.
./ddos-cli domain del <domain> Disable ddos mode for a domain.
```
