Prevent DoS
A normal DoS attack causes outage of a specific machine or service, thereby causing a further disruption in any process depending on this service/machine
- On a service-level:
- Automatically respawn services when they are dead (very easy on Win2k, scriptable on Unix & NT)
- Log all strange requests to software (application level proxies?)
- On a host-level:
- Monitor & prevent excessive forking (login.conf,...)
- Controll processes, used cpu, used memory
