A method and system for detecting application layer flood denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks carried by attackers utilizing advanced application layer flood attack tools are provided. The method processing application-layer transactions received during a current time window to detect a rate-based anomaly in a traffic directed to a protected entity; processing the received application-layer transactions to determine rate-invariant anomaly based on a plurality of Application Attributes (AppAttributes) observed in the application-layer transactions received during the current time window, wherein the rate-invariant anomaly is determined based on a continuously updated baseline of AppAttributes, wherein AppAttributes represent the applicative behavior of the protected entity modeled based on the application-layer transactions; determining based on a detected rate-based anomaly and a detected rate-invariant anomaly if an application layer flood DDoS is present in the current time window; and causing a mitigation action when the application layer flood DDoS is present.
