While Python is often used to *create* DDoS tools, it also plays a role in *mitigating* them. Libraries can be used to develop intrusion detection systems (IDS) that monitor network traffic for suspicious patterns indicative of a DDoS attack. Python can also be used to automate responses, such as blocking suspicious IP addresses or implementing rate limiting on servers.
