Re: Firewall events log "type of TCP flood/14"

Okay, looks like the attack was tcp-ack flooding (probably reflected) against a closed port. I don't know why it's so effective against our service, hopefully a rate-limit filter will help.

We are doing that but not always right in time.

So if anyone knows what the number stands for, please inform me.

Re: Firewall events log "type of TCP flood/14"

Apparently it is detected too late. The laggs ingame are some minutes long before this event shows up. That's why I want to filter such attacks directly.

Firewall events log "type of TCP flood/14"

We are currently getting a lot of TCP flooding attacks. I have a short question regarding the log entry "TCP flood/14". What does the number 14 stand for? Does it represent some IP or TCP flags? Would help me setting up the filters.

Thanks in advance!
