Having agreed with Vadim's message in its entirety, I want to add some more - as I see it, SYN-flood attacks are made real by inadequate TCP implementations on the majority of Internet-connected boxes, i.e. these said boxes just cannot keep up with the rate their network interfaces supply packets to them. Is it fixable on the host level? My gut feeling says "most probably, yes." Does it eliminate the need for the measures outlined by Vadim? Of course, not. Dima - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
