Hi, I suggest you take a look at syn-cookies solution. Anyway, you did not give enough information about what kind of DDOS to we help you.
SYN-cookies only fix one type of DDoS attack: SYN floods. These are in the real minority these days and would do zero for most of today's DDoS attacks. Also, they are implemented by default in many/most current *nix O/Ses (don't know about Windows). With botnets, protocol-based attacks (like SYN floods) are not as serious an issue as they were a few years ago. Today, we have to worry more about bandwidth starvation attacks, for which the only pseudo-cure is anycast, which leaves TCP-based services still hard to protect. Jon Kibler - -- Jon R.
