Abstract
Systems and methods are described to enable identification of computing resources targeted in a network attack. Network attacks, such as denial of service attacks, are frequently directed to network addresses that host multiple sets of content, each representing a distinct potential target of the network attack. Aspects of this disclosure enable each set of content to be assigned a unique or semi-unique combination of network addresses at which the set of content is accessible. During a network attack, a hosting system can compare the network addresses under attack to those assigned to each set of content to determine which sets of content are potentially targeted by the attack. Where the combination of network addresses is associated with only a single set of content, that set of content can be identified as the target of the network attack.
