intercepting RSVP packets with netgraph

Hi all, I've read every thing I could find about netgraph but I still can not figure out how to intercept (divert) all IP packets of a certain type (say RSVP) and call my own function to process them. Notice that the processing has to occur at the kernel level. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Priority Increasing

Hi all, Ive been trying to counter the malicious effects of a forkbomb by setting the forkbomb parent and children to a PRI_MAX priority, although this is not having any effect on the system load. Basically in my code when I know which process is acting maliciously (forkbomb), I run the

Re: Priority Increasing

Well, since the program is running a forkbomb, it is gonna stress out the kernel. The kernel is constantly creating new process spaces, as well as filling in the queue. Are we talking a O(2^n) forkbomb here (where the forks also fork)? Remember, there is overhead associated with forking off new

Fw: Priority Increasing

The forkbomb program I wrote is just one parent that forks 750 or so children that each malloc around 40 MB's of memory and do a mem traversal through it. The children do not fork. I see the overhead of forking could be causing this, but shouldn't there be some difference in the load of the
