Configuring TCP attack prevention

Overview

TCP attack prevention can detect and prevent attacks that exploit the TCP connection establishment process.

Configuring Naptha attack prevention

Naptha is a DDoS attack that targets operating systems. It exploits the resources consuming vulnerability in TCP/IP stack and network application process. The attacker establishes a large number of TCP connections in a short period of time and leaves them in certain states without requesting any data. These TCP connections starve the victim of system resources, resulting in a system breakdown.

After you enable Naptha attack prevention, the device periodically checks the number of TCP connections in each state (CLOSING, ESTABLISHED, FIN_WAIT_1, FIN_WAIT_2, and LAST_ACK). If the number of TCP connections in a state exceeds the limit, the device will accelerate the aging of the TCP connections in that state to mitigate the Naptha attack.

To configure Naptha attack prevention:

 

Step

Command

Remarks

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.     Enable Naptha attack prevention.

tcp anti-naptha enable

By default, Naptha attack prevention is disabled.

3.     (Optional.) Set the maximum number of TCP connections in a state.

tcp state { closing | established | fin-wait-1 | fin-wait-2 | last-ack } connection-limit number

By default, the maximum number of TCP connections in each state (CLOSING, ESTABLISHED, FIN_WAIT_1, FIN_WAIT_2, and LAST_ACK) is 50.

To disable the device from accelerating the aging of the TCP connections in a state, set the value to 0.

4.     (Optional.) Set the interval for checking the number of TCP connections in each state.

tcp check-state interval interval

By default, the interval for checking the number of TCP connections in each state is 30 seconds.
