Re: [FW-1] FTP



Possibly and that is certainly a valid question.  My experience, for what it
is worth, has led me to believe that SYN Defender can certainly assist in
partially squelching a SYN flood attack but is not the "end all, be all"
and is more trouble than it is worth.  Your FW performance takes a serious
hit and legitimate traffic is often dropped due to the way SOME vendors
inplement their TCP/IP stacks.

By all means, if anyone thinks it's a good thing and uses it regularly,
without negative impact, please let me know and I would be eager to know
more.

Isn't it too late at that point?

SYN Defender chews up a lot of resources.  I wouldn't recommend using it
unless you are actually experiencing a SYN flood attack.

I get some files transferred via FTP from the states every morning but
the
connections are timing out occasionally with a SYN defender warning and
some
of the files are not being transferred. In the SYN Defender tab I am
using
the SYN Gateway method and have changed the SYN Defender timeout from 10
to
15 seconds to no avail.
Any help appreciated.
