Re: [FW1] How do I stop being smurfed?



You can't stop being the victim of a smurf attack.

The reflector networks which allow directed broadcasts (large percentage appear to be govt/mil routers)
are the source of the traffic and you don't have administrative control over them.

What you can do is make sure you are not a reflector network and make sure that nobody on your
network is infected with TFN2000.
