You can use the limit support to limit packet rates:

### syn-flood chain
$IPTABLES -N syn-flood
$IPTABLES -A syn-flood -i $IFACE_INET -m limit --limit 75/s
--limit-burst 100 -j RETURN
$IPTABLES -A syn-flood -i $IFACE_DMZ -m limit --limit 75/s --limit-burst
100 -j RETURN
$IPTABLES -A syn-flood -i $IFACE_INT -j RETURN
$IPTABLES -A syn-flood -j LOG --log-prefix "SYN-FLOOD: "
$IPTABLES -A syn-flood -j DROP

$IPTABLES -A INPUT -i $IFACE_INT -p tcp --syn -j syn-flood
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -i $IFACE_DMZ -p tcp --syn -j syn-flood
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -i $IFACE_INET -p tcp --syn -j syn-flood

I have a questions on this. As I interpret the rules any packet with is 
not catched by the two limit-rules is targeted to LOG. 
Due to the huge number of possible SYN-Packets in a dos-attack this does 
not seem useful to me. Shouldn't there be a "-m --limit 
10/minute" in the log-rule?

with kind regards

The LOG rule is so I can trace where the DOS came from. The limit of
75/s is assuming that our 512K line is capable of receiving that many
packets per second (if it isn't, then we better start looking for new
hardware).

The attacks come from MS workstations that are infected by the virus, not
from servers - if all is well.
Assuming for the virus to succesfully start the attack, it has to have
direct access (like NAT) to the internet (thus assuming that these viruses
are not able to find out IE's proxy settings and use it..)

So, do you use a proxy server or NAT for your clients to access the internet
?

If my assumption above is true (I think it is, please correct me if I'm
wrong) and your clients can only use the proxy server then you don't need
any rules as the virus can't reach the internet directly anyway. The attack
will then stop at your default gateway.


Gr,
Rob

Ray,
Thank you for the rules.
I'll be testing it out now.

Thanks again.

I forgot to ask.
I am putting this before the rest of my rules, right? Will this allow legit transaction to get through?

Thanks.

Yes, the rules to redirect to the syn-flood chain must be the first
