Implementing Security Modules
ALOHA provides the following security modules in your load balancing solution. Please refer to your Customer Portal for their installation and configuration information or click on the module name below for its documentation.
cookie_challenge.so
The HAProxy Javascript Challenge module prevents non-legitimate HTTP clients (suspicious browsers or computers infected by malware) to have minimal negative impact on a web application.
Javascript Challenge sends mathematical tests to suspicious clients to help distinguish between a real user and an automated bot. It also provides efficient protection for web applications against DDoS (denial of service) attacks.
fingerprint.so
The Fingerprinting module can identify client requests or bots even when they attempt to modify their user-agent string or through other methods.
It efficiently distinguishes real search engines from DDoS bots emulating search engines.
reCaptcha Module
For cases where a bot can execute JavaScript, HAProxy Enterprise offers a Lua module that requires the visitor to solve a reCaptcha challenge in order to proceed.
