TCP/IP Stack Hardener Description

TCP/IP Stack Hardener has been designed as an experimental tool that should offer some sort of protection against SYN flood attacks, which is a form of denial-of-service involving the transmission of SYN requests to the target until all its resources are used and it becomes unresponsive. What this tool attempts to accomplish is modify some settings for the TCP/IP stack in order to be able to face this type of attacks. It is not foolproof but the tweaks should make the system resist a little longer as the aim is to restrict the size of the half-open connections queue, cause a SYN flood attack creates a large number of such connections. The application does not require installation and it comes with documentation about SYN Flood attacks and how they work. There are no settings available in the program because it follows a strict routine of checking the state of some configuration options and tweaking them if they do not fit the protection parameters. The entire procedure takes very little to complete and at the end the product makes available a log file with the results of the investigation and the parameters that have been changed. If specific parameters are not found they are added and set to a specific value. You are advised to read the documentation before using the product and keep in mind that this is not a foolproof solution against a SYN flood attack.
