Hi folks, Somewhere I must be missing something. Fairly regularly we see SYN Flood attacks which come from addresses of the form x.x.0.0. Since the address on each incoming packet changes rate limiting doesn't help with this and it isn't practical to include 65,000+ rules to drop each address ending in .0.0. My question is, is there an easy way to get iptables to drop these addresses so that they don't get forwarded to the network? As I say I may have missed something so any assistance will be appreciated. Jim. James R. Hay jrhay@xxxxxxxxxx Hay-Net Networks P.O. Box 46051 Pointe Claire, QC H9R 5R4
