### Denial-of-Service (DoS) filter
hawkBit owns the feature of guarding itself from DoS attacks, a [DoS filter](https://github.com/eclipse-hawkbit/hawkbit/blob/master/hawkbit-security-core/src/main/java/org/eclipse/hawkbit/security/DosFilter.java). It reduces the maximum number of requests per seconds which can be configured for read and write requests.
hawkBit owns the feature of guarding itself from DoS attacks, a [DoS filter](https://github.com/eclipse-hawkbit/hawkbit/blob/master/hawkbit-http-security/src/main/java/org/eclipse/hawkbit/security/DosFilter.java). It reduces the maximum number of requests per seconds which can be configured for read and write requests.
This mechanism is only working for every node separately, i.e. in a cluster environment the worst-case behaviour would be that the maximum number of requests per seconds will be increased to its product if every request is handled by a different node.
The same constraint exists with the validator to check if a user tried too many logins within a defined period of time.
