[Crafting packets]
: it very difficult or length code wise? I am just curious what is
Not at all. There's literally thousands of programs out there that do it
at the press of a button. If you want to see the mechanics behind it,
have a look at hping2.
: going on under these DDoS attacks. Does firewalls have rules that
: can say "I won't allow any packets of type TCP/IP that have
: packet size great than <FOO>?" What is the solution(s) to
Yes, most firewalls that are worth their money do that.
: successful. Does root problem originate at ISP (ie they see one
: of their networks/subnet/host getting hit with suspicious traffic
: so they stop that inbound traffic?) or where?
Ideally the ISP would have to react, yes. But this aint an ideal world
