Hello!

Last days our server was DoSed (I'm sure).
Ok, facts:
The Problem:
IP socket: No buffer space available
UNIX Socket : No buffer space available

Victim: FreeBSD 3.4
Kernel compiled with these options:
options		ICMP_BANDLIM
options		TCP_DROP_SYNFIN
options		TCP_RESTRICT_RST
options		IPFIREWALL
options		IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE
options		IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=10

/etc/rc.conf:
tcp_drop_synfin="YES"
tcp_restrict_rst="YES" 
icmp_drop_redirect="YES" 
icmp_log_redirect="YES"
firewall_enable="YES"
firewall_script="/etc/rc.firewall"
firewall_type="/etc/rc.firewall"
firewall_quiet="NO"

### TCP STACK TUNING ###
# TCP send/receive spaces
sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.sendspace=32768
sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.recvspace=32768
# Socket queue defense against SYN attacks
sysctl -w kern.ipc.somaxconn=1024   #!!!
sysctl -w net.inet.icmp.drop_redirect=1
sysctl -w net.inet.icmp.log_redirect=1
sysctl -w net.inet.ip.redirect=0

sysctl -w net.link.ether.inet.max_age=1200
sysctl -w net.inet.ip.sourceroute=0
sysctl -w net.inet.ip.accept_sourceroute=0
sysctl -w net.inet.icmp.bmcastecho=0
sysctl -w net.inet.icmp.maskrepl=0
### END TCP STACK TUNING ###

On this server all packets are filtered with IPFW and _all_, except 53 udp are
in "deny".

Yes, I know about "named DoS", but the server is completely down. 
And only reboot solve the problem.

Where is the problem, where is salvation?:)

Thank you for attention.

Mr. Blackman, Security Officer.
