I think configuring a server policy that matches requests from shared Internet connections (option D) is also important to consider.

That's true, but enabling SYN cookies (option C) could also help protect against denial of service attacks.

I disagree, I believe option B) is more effective as it blocks attacks using the client's private network IP.

I think option A) is the best choice because it allows us to set separate rate limits for requests coming from NATted source IPs.

I see your point about SYN cookies, Arlene. It could be a good additional layer of protection.

I'm considering option C - enabling SYN cookies. It seems like a good defense mechanism against denial of service attacks.

I disagree with option A. I believe option B is the right choice as it helps to find each client's private network IP and block attacks using that information.

Haha, option C made me chuckle a bit. Enabling SYN cookies is a classic TCP/IP security trick, but I don't think it's the best fit for this specific scenario.

Hmm, I'm not sure about option B. Using X-Forwarded-For headers to identify clients' private IPs might work, but it also seems a bit risky. What if the headers are spoofed or the app is already compromised?

The key here is protecting the app against request floods, which could be coming from multiple clients behind a NAT router. I'm leaning towards option A, since configuring separate rate limits for NATted IPs seems like a logical approach.

I think this question is really testing our understanding of network security concepts. Dealing with DDoS attacks is a common challenge for web apps, so we need to be familiar with the different features FortiWeb offers to mitigate these threats.
