detecting, by the defense device, whether a target host is attacked by a UDP attack from an attack device;

obtaining, by the defense device, an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) data packet sent back by the target host to the attack device, in response to detecting that the target host being attacked by the attack device;

extracting, by the defense device, information about target ports in the ICMP data packet;

determining, by the defense device, whether distribution of attacks on the target ports is a centralized distribution or a dispersed distribution according to a quantity of the target ports being attacked; and

performing, by the defense device according to the information about the target ports, interception processing on UDP data packets sent by the attack device to the target ports, comprising:

in response to determining that the distribution of the attacks on the target ports is the dispersed distribution: limiting, by the defense device, traffic of the UDP data packets allowed to pass through the target ports within a first threshold, or randomly discarding, by the defense device, at least one of the UDP data packets sent to the target ports; and

in response to determining that the distribution of the attacks on the target ports is the centralized distribution, discarding, by the defense device, the UDP data packets sent to the target ports.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the detecting, by the defense device, whether a target host is attacked by a UDP attack from an attack device comprises:

monitoring, by the defense device, the number of UDP data packets received by the target host per unit time; and

determining, by the defense device, that the target host is attacked by the UDP attack from the attack device, if the number of UDP data packets is greater than a second threshold.

3. A defense device, comprising a memory and a processor;

the memory being configured to store a computer program; and the processor being configured to execute the computer program in the memory, to specifically perform:

detecting whether a target host is attacked by a User Datagram Protocol (UDP) attack from an attack device;

obtaining an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) data packet sent back by the target host to the attack device, when detecting that the target host is attacked by the UDP attack from the attack device;

extracting information about target ports in the ICMP data packet;

determining whether distribution of attacks on the target ports is a centralized distribution or a dispersed distribution according to a quantity of the target ports being attacked; and

performing, according to the information about the target ports, interception processing on UDP data packets sent by the attack device to the target ports, comprising:

in response to determining that the distribution of the attacks on the target ports is the dispersed distribution: limiting, by the defense device, traffic of the UDP data packets allowed to pass through the target ports within a first threshold, or randomly discarding, by the defense device, at least one of the UDP data packets sent to the target ports; and

in response to determining that the distribution of the attacks on the target ports is the centralized distribution, discarding, by the defense device, the UDP data packets sent to the target ports.

4. The defense device according to claim 3 , wherein the detecting whether a target host is attacked by a UDP attack from an attack device comprises:

monitoring, by the defense device, the number of UDP data packets received by the target host per unit time; and

determining, by the defense device, that the target host is attacked by the UDP attack from the attack device, if the number of UDP data packets is greater than a second threshold.

5. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, storing a program instruction which, when being executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform:

detecting whether a target host is attacked by a User Datagram Protocol (UDP) attack from an attack device;

obtaining an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) data packet sent back by the target host to the attack device, when detecting that the target host is attacked by the UDP attack from the attack device;

extracting information about target ports in the ICMP data packet;

determining whether distribution of attacks on the target ports is a centralized distribution or a dispersed distribution according to a quantity of the target ports being attacked; and

performing, according to the information about the target ports, interception processing on UDP data packets sent by the attack device to the target ports, comprising:

in response to determining that the distribution of the attacks on the target ports is the dispersed distribution: limiting, by the defense device, traffic of the UDP data packets allowed to pass through the target ports within a first threshold, or randomly discarding, by the defense device, at least one of the UDP data packets sent to the target ports; and

in response to determining that the distribution of the attacks on the target ports is the centralized distribution, discarding, by the defense device, the UDP data packets sent to the target ports.

6. The storage medium according to claim 5 , wherein the detecting whether a target host is attacked by a UDP attack from an attack device comprises:

monitoring, by the defense device, the number of UDP data packets received by the target host per unit time; and

determining, by the defense device, that the target host is attacked by the UDP attack from the attack device, if the number of UDP data packets is greater than a second threshold.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein:

obtaining the ICMP data packet comprises: when a UDP port disabled by the target host receives a UDP data packet from the attack device, obtaining, by the ICMP data packet sent from the target host to the attack device, wherein the ICMP data packet carries information about the UDP data packet sent from the attack device,

extracting information about the target ports in the ICMP data packet comprises:

obtaining a destination port from the information about the UDP data packet carried in the ICMP data packet and determining the destination port as one of the target ports.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein:

when the distribution of the attacks on the target ports is the dispersed distribution, one of the target ports is a service port enabled by the target host.
