Ok, I will take a deeper look into CPMAD, and forget about the rest for now.
Thanx for all replies.

best regards
Jan

You forgot to subtract the MAD (malicious activity detection) that's
built into CKP-FW1 (but not accessible from GUI).
MAD detects/defends:
- Syn-Attacks
- Spoofing attempts (for local interfaces, too)
- portscan detection
- blocked ports scan detection
- login failures
- fast repeated connects
- land attacks
So you're only left with
- IPFragmentation
- Illegal and Malformed Packets
