Hi 'yall.
I just read this http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/3072, it details TCP
reset (RST or SYN) attacks and has me sufficiently worried
enough to ask some questions.
I checked out the list of kernel tunable parameters with "sysctl -a" and
found the option to disable window scaling but how do I change the
window size from the default 64k to say 16k?
The next question is how can I set ( if it's not already ) my TCP stack
to randomize source ports?
What does the Fedora community have to say in response to this
potentially large problem?
Cheers!
