Hi, In the file /var/log/kern.log, I have the message like that : Nov 18 05:08:49 poynting last message repeated 2 times Nov 18 05:10:50 poynting kernel: Warning: possible SYN flooding. Sending cookies. Nov 18 05:10:59 poynting kernel: Warning: possible SYN flooding. Sending cookies. Nov 18 05:10:59 poynting kernel: validated probe(3103d184, 5a4ccb84, 33166, 20100, 1878646017)
This message is repeated a lot of time. What is the meaning of this message? This week, a user (we actively search him) use our server to attack and crash a other server on the net. Today, our own server crash. We think that the crash was a strike back. So, the kernel message about a possible flooding could be related to our hacker war?
