Great job, Keep it up

[@nathanc4407]

SYN Floods usually target bandwidth and not memory, right? SYN Spoofing will target the TCP table in memory

Thanks you, can l hehp you I want to use this protcol with Stepping stone algorithms

[@93kazem]

How to mitigate this? Is there like a timeout that you can set that will close the half open connection?

[@hnasr]

Firewalls mainly detect this and prevent it with deep packet analysis. They notice that hey, the server been sending SYN/ACKs but those clients are not replying so let us block this kind of traffic. Machine learning plays big rule here. I believe there is also a low level TCP timeout (SYN/ACK) timeout but the problem you don't want this to be set to very low otherwise normal connections will suffer.

Hi! Great video. But I would like to know this: If the c IP address (4:20) is an address of a real computer will the computer send an “ACK” back to the server or will it just ignore the “SYN ACK”? Thanks in advance! (PS:I’m really sorry for my English I’m not a native speaker)

[@williamwolseley-charles2045]

the "real" computer wouldn't send anything because maybe the port is closed or it isn't expecting a request to be sent to that port, therefore it will simply do nothing and ignore it.

[@guilhermegavioli5647]

@@williamwolseley-charles2045 Just what I had thought, if you are lucky enough to get the IP right, you gotta a 1/65536 port chance, maybe more than one (port) eventually

ha-interesting. thank you!

Like your content , thank you :)

[@vxvbvcnvxcxnx3306]

Great explanation. And you're humorous as fuck.

[@arandomdude8701]

Why does a syn flood need to be distributed? Cant it all come from a single device?

[@yayacamara7176]

The single device can easily be detected and consequently ignored

Needs 7 minutes to explain something that would need no more than 20 seconds.
