RE: [cobalt-security] SYN attacks killing me! Please HELP!

["Matthew Nuzum" <cobalt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I checked with my upstream provider and found that they handle this type
of problem in their routers and switches.  They use Cisco and Foundry
equipment which (from what I've heard) is some of the best.

However even if your ISP uses lower end hardware, they should be able to
block this kind of stuff.  I'm sure they'd rather be doing other things
than rebooting blue boxes all the time.

I'd really try to get those guys to help you out on this.
