Abstract
Security mechanisms for content delivery networks (“CDNs”) are disclosed herein. One security mechanism can be used to mitigate or prevent dynamic content attacks. A system can execute a CDN manager to perform operations. In particular, the CDN manager can receive a plurality of hypertext transfer protocol (“HTTP”) requests, and parse a plurality of headers from the plurality of HTTP requests to determine a plurality uniform resource locators (“URLs”). The CDN manager can generate a plurality of web page images associated with the plurality of URLs. The CDN manager can execute a machine learning algorithm, such as a convolution neural network, to perform an analysis of the plurality of web page images. Based upon the analysis of the plurality of web page images, the CDN manager can determine whether the plurality of HTTP requests are for the same web page, which can be indicative of a dynamic content attack.
