I just tried to scan a FreeBDS3.0 w/ natd, and it appears that using the -sU flag with nmap seems to completely lock natd at 100% cpu. Thus, there is no way to send any packet in or out of the gateway. I am right assuming this is a kind of DOS attack ? Is there any way to prevent this kind of thing to happen, like an option to natd to make it drop incoming packets when reaching a given load ?
