The RFC has a lot of statements about silently dropping packets in case of 
various anomalies. But the correct action should be to drop the connection.
This would uncover faulty implementations and other bugs that may
slide due to 'silently drop' behavior. It'll also make malicious
activity a bit more difficult and exposed due to the necessity to reestablish
connections for any brute force attempts.

What is your opinion on this?

Cheers,
