METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DEFENDING NETWORK ATTACK

摘要

This application discloses a method and an apparatus for defending against a network attack, to resolve a problem that network defense costs are relatively high. The method includes: a network security device receives a first packet sent by an external device, and matches a destination IP address of the first packet with configuration information of a fake network. If an IP address of a node in the configuration information of the fake network has a same subnet prefix as the destination IP address, the network security device processes the first packet based on a fake network policy; if no IP address of a node in the configuration information of the fake network has a same subnet prefix as the destination IP address, the network security device processes the first packet based on a firewall policy.
