I have just finished a patch to linux 2.0.29 that provides the SYN cookies protection against SYN flood attacks. You can grab it from my home page at: http://www.dna.lth.se/~erics/software/tcp-syncookies-patch-1.gz You can also follow the pointers from my home page (see the signature) to get a very short blurb about this patch. Quick synopsys: This implements the SYN cookie defense against SYN

Hello, I current have a FreeBSD 4.8 bridge firewall that sits between 7 servers and the internet. The servers are being attacked with syn floods and go down multiple times a day. The 7 servers belong to a client, who runs redhat. I am trying to find a way to do some kind of syn flood protection inside the firewall. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -- Ryan James ryan@mac2.net

Perhaps someone will help me on this :- I have read a lot of examples of syn flood protect on the INPUT chain. That I have no question at all. I wonder if it make sense to perform syn flood protection at the FORWARD chain ? If packets are originated from a LAN worm, and are not targetted at the firewall itself, but rather at hosts in the internet, will it cause problem with the firewall itself,

On a Linux Server running tincd I noticed the following log message in /var/log/messages kernel: possible SYN flooding on port 655. Sending cookies. I found this on the web: If SYN cookies are enabled, then the kernel doesn't track half open connections at all. Instead it knows from the sequence number in the following ACK datagram that the ACK very probably follows a SYN and a SYN-ACK.

I figured that someone reading this list might want to take a look at the proceeding, considering that the version of Snort in FreeBSD ports -is- affected. -----Forwarded Message----- > From: CERT Advisory <cert-advisory@cert.org> > To: cert-advisory@cert.org > Subject: CERT Advisory CA-2003-13 Multiple Vulnerabilities in Snort Preprocessors > Date: 17 Apr 2003 11:30:47 -0400

For those who are unaware... [mod: This whole bind affair has gone a bit out of hand. Elias from Bugtraq found "public" info indicating the problem. ISC/CERT were working on releasing the bugfix together with the fix. Now everybody is scurrying to get fixes out now that "the public" knows about this. As far as I know, Red Hat (& Caldera) made a new RPM, based on the most

Hello everyone, is a pleasure to be here. I have a problem with my server, it runs qmail SMTP and protect it with shorewall.
