What can an administrator do when his servers are under a classic, non-bandwidth flooding SYN attack? One of most important steps is to enable the operating system's built-in protection mechanisms like SYN cookies or SynAttackProtect.

The learning objective of this lab is for students to explore the mechanism of SYN cookies in Linux system. SYN flooding is a type of Denial of Service (DoS) attack. When a SYN packet is received by a server, the server allocates some memory in its SYN queue, so the SYN information can be stored.

Willy Tarreau: My tests on an AMD LX800 with max_syn_backlog at 63000 on an HTTP reverse proxy consisted in injecting 250 hits/s of legitimate traffic with 8000 SYN/s of noise.[..] Without SYN cookies, the average response time was about 1.5 second and unstable (due to retransmits), and the CPU was set to 60%.

In normal operation, a Client sends a SYN and the Server responds with a SYN+ACK message, the server will then hold state ... SYN Cookies is a simple DDoS defence today, and probably suitable for all Internet hosting including mail server and corporate web servers. ... Alternatives to SYN Cookies...

SYN cookies are a technique to prevent SYN flooding attack. It was originated from D. J. Bernstein and Eric Schenk, and it is now a standard part of Linux kernel. However, the implementation in Linux is now aimed to protect only the box.

The client system begins by sending a SYN message to the server. The server then acknowledges the SYN message ... Cookies expire shortly after they are sent. Basically this prevents people from filling up the queue completely. No one flooding from a spoof will be able to reply to the cookie, so nothing can be overloaded.

This is a it different from synscan. While they’re both half-open (syn) scanners, synscan doesn’t use the reverse syncookies approach. What would be an interesting hack for scanrand is to run the packet generator on one box, and the receiver on a different box.
