How can I use a Mikrotik firewall to mitigate DDoS attacks?

Mikrotik firewalls can be configured with various strategies to mitigate DDoS attacks. These include: limiting connections per IP address to prevent flood attacks, using connection tracking to drop invalid or malformed packets, employing rate limiting to restrict the number of packets or connections allowed within a specific timeframe, and utilizing address lists to block known malicious IP ranges or sources engaging in suspicious activity. You can also implement tarpitting to tie up malicious connections, making them less effective.
