Re: [FW-1] tcp session timeout



It might be possible for a bad guy to run a DOS against your firewall by
(half)opening many connections to the firewall, and filling the
connection table.

Subject: [FW-1] tcp session timeout


What is the security risk to setting tcp session
timeout to 8 hours?  Currently, I have it set at 1
hour.
