SYN cookie is a technique used to resist SYN flood attacks. The technique's primary inventor Daniel J. Bernstein defines SYN cookies as "particular choices of initial TCP sequence numbers by TCP servers." In particular, the use of SYN cookies allows a server to avoid dropping connections when the SYN queue fills up.
In computer networking, xinetd (Extended Internet Service Daemon) is an open-source super-server daemon which runs on many Unix-like systems, and manages Internet-based connectivity. [ 3 ] It offers a more secure alternative to the older inetd ("the Internet daemon"), which most modern Linux distributions have deprecated.
The Network Information Service, or NIS (originally called Yellow Pages or YP), is a client–server directory service protocol for distributing system configuration data such as user and host names between computers on a computer network. Sun Microsystems developed the NIS; the technology is licensed to virtually all other Unix vendors.
SYN from Peer A reaches NAT-b, SYN from Peer B reaches NAT-a; Depending on the timing of these events (where in the network the SYN cross), at least one of the NAT will let the incoming SYN through, and map it to the internal destination peer; Upon receipt of the SYN, the peer sends a SYN+ACK back and the connection is established.
Miredo [1] is a Teredo tunneling client designed to allow full IPv6 connectivity to computer systems which are on the IPv4-based Internet but which have no direct native connection to an IPv6 network. Miredo is included in many Linux [2] [3] and BSD [4] [5] distributions and is also available for recent versions of Mac OS X. [6] (Discontinued)
A SYN flood is a form of denial-of-service attack on data communications in which an attacker rapidly initiates a connection to a server without finalizing the connection. The server has to spend resources waiting for half-opened connections, which can consume enough resources to make the system unresponsive to legitimate traffic.
In computer networking, TCP Fast Open (TFO) is an extension to speed up the opening of successive Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connections between two endpoints. It works by using a TFO cookie (a TCP option), which is a cryptographic cookie stored on the client and set upon the initial connection with the server. [ 1 ]
VyOS is an open source network operating system Linux distribution based on Debian. [2]VyOS provides a free routing platform that competes directly with other commercially available solutions from well-known network providers.
