Thanks, Jeff!
I almost sent out a version with your name && e-mail address
but figured you might not have time to deal with e-mail from
the curious...
"someone else local"
has thrown the initial implementation up on
his ftp server; sun3 & sun4 .o's and a back-port to Net/2 src code
(note though, I have not tested the Net/2 port):Â Â ftp.op.net:/pub/src/syn-prophylactica/
I have been able to withstand a ~600+ syn/sec attack with no
noticable problems (slightly increased load, but no dropped
connections).  --jeff
