ADS
(Attack Detection System)
The firewall Advanced Attack Detection System (ADS) contains various algorithms to detect and identify
WAN attacks the moment they start and protect the LAN from such attacks. Though WAN access may be
temporarily hindered, the LAN is protected from harmful traffic.
ADS typically looks for two types of packets: malformed packets and spoofed source address packets.
•
Malformed packets have been purposefully constructed with errors in them. These are used to crash
systems that don’t properly handle the errors. This type of attack usually happens against large sites
rather than home users.
