Abstract
A system (and method, and computer readable storage medium storing computer program instructions) is configured to determine a fingerprint of a client and qualify client behavior. For example, a proxy positioned between a host and the client may determine the fingerprint of the client and qualify the behavior of clients engaging the host. The client fingerprint provides a relatively stable representation of the client such that the client may be distinguished from the other clients engaging the host and the behavior of the client tracked. Clients engaging the host in a positive manner are prequalified to access the host based on the positive behavior they exhibit. During an attack on the host, such as a DDoS attack, prequalified clients retain access to features and functionality provided by the host to maintain legitimate user experience and better enable the proxy to handle malicious clients.
