Hi all, I have tested my FW1(on windows 2000 - all default services enabled) against several types of DoS attacks, including ping flood. My rulebase allowed any service out towards the internet, but nothing in. In our 100Mbps network we set up 4 computers running several windows with krate. The 4 computers nukes the Firewall on port 80, the most common port in use on such systems. After about 3 minutes with massive attacks the FW module crashed and rebooted. Does anyone know how to protect my system against such attacks? Is this possible on a NT based computer? Is this a problem on Solaris boxes as well? Thanks:) Tomas Norum ================================================================================ To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================================================
