 SYN flood
SYN flag set in each packet is a request to open a new connection to the server from the spoofed IP address
SYN flood can be used as part of other attacks, such as disabling one side of a connection in TCP hijacking, or by preventing authentication or logging between servers.
However, the cryptographic hashing used in SYN cookies is fairly expensive, so servers that expect lots of incoming connections may choose not to use it.

 SYN flood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A SYN flood is a form of denial-of-service attack in which an attacker sends a succession of
If this so called half-open connection binds resources on the server or the server software is licensed per-connection, as is the case in many operating systems, it may be possible to take up all these resources or run out of Client Access Licenses by flooding the server with SYN messages.
Countermeasures include SYN cookies or limiting the number of new connections from a source per timeframe.

 HP-UX SYN Flood Vulnerability
SYN attack is a denial of service attack in that at least one internet port is blocked from legitimate access.
SYN attack is one of the more severe denial of service attacks, since every faked SYN packet can disproportionately consume a system's resources for a disproportional amount of time.
Memory Requirement Amount of memory consumed by faked SYN packets during an attack is proportional to the attack rate.

 [No title]
A TCP connection starts by a SYN packet sent from a host to a destination, a SYN ACK that is sent back and finally an Ack of the last SYN again from the host to the destination.
Since the SYN ACK is destined for an incorrect or nonexistent host, the last part of the "three-way handshake" is never completed and the entry remains in the connection queue until a timer expires, typically for about one minute.
By generating TCP SYN packets from random IP addresses at a rapid rate, the connection queue is blocked and any TCP services cannot be served.

 GENESIS SYN-Spoofing Immunity System   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
If a significant number of spoofed SYN packets arrive within a short time, the TCP server's ability to accept new connections — even legitimate connections — will be exhausted and the server's services will be denied.
By comparison, the details of SYN Cookies were years old and had the benefit of extensive open-source community experimentation and tweaking.
So SYN Cookies had evolved some useful improvements that I had never considered, as well as some unnecessary (TCP Option) complications that were not required by my security scanning NanoProbe / RSVP application.

 SYN Flood Attack   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
A SYN Flood attack is one form of Denial-of-Service Attacks.
Finding the source of a SYN Flood attack can be difficult, usually requiring a network analyzer and cooporation by your ISP.
The attacker sends a SYN to the target server masquerading as a client system (which will not be able to respond to the SYN-ACK).

 SYN Cookies   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
An attacker launching a SYN flood against a target attempts to occupy all available resources for establishing TCP sessions so that the server is unable to establish legitimate connections.
SYN cookies work to alleviate SYN floods by calculating cookies that are functions of the source address, source port, destination address, destination port, and a random secret seed.
Personally, I think SYN Cookie protection is a good idea, and that implementing SYN Cookies or something similar would help out a lot of the 'suspect' IP stacks found on various networking gear out there.

 After the SYN flood
The SYN request is the first part of the TCP three-way handshake we discussed, and the SYN-ACK response is the second.
If enough SYN requests are received, the receiving machine can't accept new SYN requests due to a lack of data storage (that will be a limitation of the TCP/ IP stack or simply running out of local operating system resources).
A SYN flood attack is difficult to counter because the source of the attack may not be obvious.

 Hardening the TCP/IP stack to SYN attacks
The SYN RECEIVED state is created when the victim host receives a connection request (a packet with SYN flag set) and allocates for it some memory resources.
SYN cookies protection is especially useful when the system is under a SYN flood attack and source IP addresses of SYN packets are also forged (a SYN spoofing attack).
During a SYN attack the system generates a response by sending back a packet with a cookie, instead of rejecting the connection when the SYN queue is full.

 Cisco - Defining Strategies to Protect Against TCP SYN Denial of Service Attacks
Since the SYN ACK is destined for an incorrect or non-existent host, the last part of the "three-way handshake" is never completed and the entry remains in the connection queue until a timer expires, typically for about one minute.
By generating phony TCP SYN packets from random IP addresses at a rapid rate, it is possible to fill up the connection queue and deny TCP services (such as e-mail, file transfer, or WWW) to legitimate users.
The TCP SYN attack is characterized by an influx of SYN packets from random source IP addresses.

Analysis of the results of the SYN flood attack with logs are provided with explanations.

Every time a client SYN arrives on a valid port (a port where a TCP server is listen()ing), a backlog structure must be allocated.

 [No title]
The receiver of the first SYN has no way of knowing whether the segment was an old delayed one or not, unless it remembers the last sequence number used on the connection (which is not always possible), and so it must ask the sender to verify this SYN.
In line 3, TCP B sends a SYN and acknowledges the SYN it received from TCP A. Note that the acknowledgment field indicates TCP B is now expecting to hear sequence 101, acknowledging the SYN which occupied sequence 100.
When the SYN arrives at line 3, TCP B, being in a synchronized state, and the incoming segment outside the window, responds with an acknowledgment indicating what sequence it next expects to hear (ACK 100).

 CERT Advisory CA-1996-21 TCP SYN Flooding and IP Spoofing Attacks
The attacking system sends SYN messages to the victim server system; these appear to be legitimate but in fact reference a client system that is unable to respond to the SYN-ACK messages.
The location of the attacking system is obscured because the source addresses in the SYN packets are often implausible.
The CERT Coordination Center staff thanks the team members of NASIRC for contributing much of the text for this advisory and thanks the many experts who are devoting time to addressing the problem and who provided input to this advisory.
