IF configured away from the defaults: By relying on the default keepalive limit, NGINX prevents this type of attack. Creating additional connections to circumvent this limit exposes bad actors via standard layer 4 monitoring and alerting tools. However, if NGINX is configured with a keepalive that is substantially higher than the default and recommended setting, the attack may deplete system resources.
