help needed with firewall logging ..please
Hello,I need to know how can a firewall be tested against a SYN Flooder. I have the SYN flooder program and also configured my firewall. My IPtables script against the SYN packets is the usual : > $IPTABLES -N syn-flood> $IPTABLES -A syn-flood -m limit --limit 50/s --limit-burst 104 -j RETURN> $IPTABLES -A syn-flood -j DROP > $IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p tcp --syn -j syn-flood Now how do i actually find out if the packets are being dropped. i.e where shud I chk my system log files to see the dropped packets ... I mean which file is it n under which dir .. And.. where shud I add the LOG prefix in the chains ? Please help me out as i desperately need to know this. Help truly appreciated. Thanks .Suhail.
