Try the same via loopback device - should not work. I believe this is not Linux kernel UDP handling problem. It might be, as suggested, but something between hardware and software, instead (like "IRQ congestion"), and probably should work for everything - TCP, ICMP? Of course I can be wrong - all I say is that I was not able to reproduce this behavior in my test network, maybe because it is 10 Mbit, and can't see any special reason why UDP attack should be more successful than any other...
Confirmed. Of course, this could be a wide variety of other things, maybe even the NIC driver. Oh well.. Cade Cairns SecurityFocus http://www.securityfocus.com/
