Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A SYN flood is a kind of Denial-of-service (DoS) attack which abuses TCP server's behavior. SYN cookies have been used for protecting TCP servers from SYN flood. In this article, I overview how a SYN flood achieves and tactic of SYN cookies, and then I confirm the condition of achievement of SYN flood on Linux. Finally, I suggest a system that can defend a Linux server against SYN flood using token bucket filtering instead of SYN cookies.
