I enable just icmp_flood anomaly here and change the threshold to 10 packets per second sent to destination of 12.12.12.3 :Įdit 1 set interface "port1" set srcaddr "all" set dstaddr "12.12.12. For small networks, and those that do not have accessible from the outside servers, it may be a nice to have feature.

You would need then to fix the thresholds, then again. The false positives, especially for TCP SYN and alike protections, would block legitimate clients to the internal servers available from the Internet due to sudden surge of the client requests.

From my personal experience, to protect large networks with this DoS feature of Fortigate is more hassle than help.

In FortiOS 6.x and newer it is called DoS Policy.

Note: in previous versions of FortiOS the feature was called DoS sensor, so I mention it for easier reference only.

This means, though, that even if some security rule allows traffic, if such traffic exceeds DoS thresholds it may be blocked.

Fortigate applies Dos protection early in the policy matching, before the Security policy is checked, so it consumes less resources than blocking the same traffic in Security rules.

If you want to allow their source IPs through then create a policy allowing them access and place it above the policy with IPS. The server still need to be pen tested on its own. You could have a weak server behind a good firewall.

For smarter anti-DDoS solution Fortinet have FortiDDoS physical appliance. It’s pretty common to test internal network security by simulating a curtain wall breech.

Dos sensor/policy protects against INCOMING traffic for the specified interface.

To block the sender IP completely, you can use set qurantine parameter under the specific anomaly.

By default, only exceeding the threshold packets get blocked.

Thresholds for anomalies are configurable and do what they say - once traffic matched by this policy exceeds the threshold, it gets blocked.You can (actually must) specify: source/destination IPs to match the DoS policy ( all can be used), service ( ALL can be used), and incoming interface to apply the DoS policy to.On Fortigates with hardware NP modules, you also have Proxy as an action in tcp_syn_flood protection to enable, which makes Fortigate to proxy SYN connections. All anomalies are set by default to Pass the offending traffic and are disabled, so make sure under the given anomaly to set status enable and action to block.You only have the choice which ones to enable and which ones not to. The list of anomalies is pre-set in any policy you create.You use Dos protection by creating Dos policy ( Policy & Objects -> IPv4/Ipv6 DoS Policy) in which you enable/modify anomalies.
