SYN Flood Attack :-

  • An arriving SYN sends the “connection” into SYN-RCVD state
  • It can stay in this state for quite a while, awaiting the acknowledgment of the SYN+ACK packet, and tying up memory
  • For this reason, the number of connections for a given port in SYN-RCVD state is limited
  • Further SYN packets for that port are dropped
  • The trick is the address forgery — if the attacker impersonates a non-existent host, neither the SYN+ACK nor a RST will ever arrive
  • The port is thus blocked
