Set your firewall defaults to drop the flood packets on the floor and not return anything. :)

Please respond to

Is anyone else experiencing massive Syn flooding? we now have the FBI
involved
as the culprits are using ip spoofing to mask themselves. As a side note,
tcp_syncookies are great, as long as your overall server load for web
traffic
is small, but when your web traffic load is high to begin with, syncookies
arent much help.
