It should be pretty straighforward to write a tool using your favorite
language do send those types of packets.

Would it be possible for you to divulge the type of firewall that died on you?

Also, you wouldn't happen to have a packet trace would you?

Hello,

Our network is under some sort of attack with TCP
RST packets sent from a static IP adress to one of
our IP adresses, sweeping all ports.

This caused the firewall to crash and to remain
hanged up until we power off and on.

Does anybody knows such a tool?

Many Thanks,
Claudiu
