lol, I guess you got your share of DoS.
Well I looked at the IP-chains, looking at the source code now. I guess what I am
looking for is something that is very fast, since we do run some high volume
sites.
Second issue I would like to explore the possibility (if it does exist) to put a
special filter on the port 80 where the HEAD in HTTP is disallowed.
Third issue: I hate ping flooders, they don't do anything but use your bandwidth.
Still I would like to protect the machine against that, so it is not busy trying
to
respond to bogus ping floods.
Fifth: A firewall that is fully configureable, meaning it would be hard for the
folks to tell what firewall it is.
Tho this will prevent 90% of DoS, and 90% of hack attempts.
I think I can live with 10% "hack think tanks" breaking in......... just backup
everyday.
I'm working on a really interesting personal project: To create such application
that will alter the actual kernel to insert its code into it. You can think of
"Bark
Orffice", but alot more suffisticated, since it takes alot to alter the actual
kernel. Ie, is the SMP compiled or not, what version etc. But it looks very good
so
far. In the first change I'm just doing raw source apply to the kernel and testing
it. First goal: to hide traffic within the ping packets: Pattern encoding to make
it
harder for anyone to detect.
What do you folks think ?
Thx.
