Abstract
A system and computer-implemented method for mitigating a malicious network attack. The method includes receiving an attack alert that a network attack has been detected, saving a sample of captured network traffic in response to the attack alert, playing back the sample while applying a playback countermeasure to the captured network traffic to block sample segments from the sample, analyzing at least one of the blocked sample segments and throughput sample segments that are not blocked, and adjusting the playback countermeasure in response to a result of the analyzing.
