We have a tool that will look for SYN packets that do not get followed with ACK and clean the half open connections by sending a RST packet. This unclogs the port and allows legitimate connections to happen. This tool
Nice idea for a tool. Read RFC 1337 "Time wait assassination hazards". Discuss the data loss issues. Yes its far better thn nothing, and I really appreciate the fact you folks put it out for 60 days for free, but its a help not an answer
