[olug] SYN Flood Protection

[Charles Bird]

I'm not sure of the tools he has.
I havnt really asked, I just point out some new ones( the new 06' pentoo packages, etc ) 
I dont know if he realises that I am not the type of person to go and kick someone elses dog when I get PO'd...I have enough trouble with my own. :D

I am really getting into security and I find it to be realitivly easy to understand and work with.
If I had the time and money to make time I'd be up till 5am everynight working on it. I'd grow a long beard, never shower, not know what a female looks like etc, etc.
