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.
Beginning with version 4.1 of the Linux kernel, released in June 2015, the tcp_ecn_fallback mechanism [18]: §6.1.1.1 is enabled by default [19] when ECN is enabled (the value of 1). The fallback mechanism attempts ECN connectivity in the initial setup of outgoing connections, with a graceful fallback for transmissions without ECN capability ...
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.

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.
[1] [2] This oops limit is due to the potential, for example, for attackers to repeatedly trigger an oops and an associated resource leak, which eventually overflows an integer and allows further exploitation.
crond [1] Time-based job scheduler, runs jobs in the background. dhcpd: Dynamically configure TCP/IP information for clients. fingerd: Provides a network interface for the finger protocol, as used by the finger command. ftpd [1] Services FTP requests from a remote system. httpd: Web server daemon. inetd [4] Listens for network connection requests.
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.
