I'm wondering if this is not quite the panacea that it appears. More thought is certainly required here... asymmetry being a problem that leaps to mind. - paul At 01:02 PM 9/17/96 -0700, Vadim Antonov wrote:
This is the excellent idea! Actually, router vendors may simply add a feature which shuts down the interface if SYN/SYN-ACK balance is too bad -- thus disconnecting the hacker-to-be. Of course, that balance may be decaying with time, so repeated unsuccessful attempts to connect won't trigger alarms. --vadim Forrest W.

If so, then couldn't we just sweet-talk cisco into providing 5 minute counts of syns and syn-acks on an interface?
