What is Cloudflare Attack Mode and how does it protect against DDoS attacks?

Cloudflare Attack Mode is a suite of security features designed to mitigate various types of DDoS attacks. It includes settings like 'Under Attack Mode' which aggressively filters traffic, blocking suspicious requests and applying stricter rules. It also offers 'Managed Challenge' which presents a JavaScript challenge to visitors, verifying they are legitimate users. Attack Mode works by analyzing traffic patterns, identifying malicious behavior, and automatically applying countermeasures to protect the origin server.
