Sorry for the late answer. I somehow missed your email earlier. > As a mitigation method, all the offending tasks involved in the attack are > killed. Or in other words, all the tasks that share the same statistics > (statistics showing a fast crash rate) are killed. So systemd will just restart the network daemon and then the attack works again? Or if it's a interactive login you log in again. I think it might be useful even with these limitations, but it would be good to spell out the limitations of the method more clearly. I suspect to be useful it'll likely need some user space configuration changes too. -Andi
