I am basically without knowledge in regard to TCP protocols. What I'm wondering is how succeptible FreeBSD is to the SYN flooding attacks like those that took down panix.com? A patch to the linux kernel came out in the magazine '2600' which enabled one to do the SYN flooding, so I suspect its going to become more common. Somebody mentioned a patch for BSD style kernels from Avi Freedman of NetAxs.com. ? -Brandon Gillespie
