Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for performing rate limiting and/or sending fabricated acknowledgments and/or silently dropping a received packet based on logged packet information and rules list determination where for each packet from a set of one or more packets, packet information is logged in a data store by comparing the received packet with previously received packets. Determining if the received packet is part of an offending host attempting an attack on a secured network. Additionally, determining whether the packet is to be responded to or dropped based on determining the type of attack being detected and/or identified by the secured network.
Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for performing rate limiting on a received packet based on logged packet information and rules list determination where for each packet from a set of one or more packets, packet information is logged in a data store by comparing the received packet with previously received packets. Determining if the received packet is part of an established connection or if the received packet is part of a new connection and if determined that the packet is of an established connection, then performing a set of rules on a subset of packets, if however it is determined that the packet is of a new connection, then performing the set of rules on all the received packets.
