One way we can reduce the amount of traffic we send in response to a SYN
flood is to eliminate the RST we send when removing a connection from
the listen queue. Since we are being flooded, we can assume that the
majority of connections in the queue are bogus. Our RST is unwanted
by these hosts, just as our SYN-ACK was. Genuine connection attempts
will result in hosts responding to our SYN-ACK with an ACK packet. We
will automatically return a RST response to their ACK when it gets to us
if the connection has been dropped, so the early RST doesn't serve the
genuine class of connections much. In summary, we can reduce the number
of packets we send by a factor of two without any loss in functionality
by ensuring that RST packets are not sent when dropping a connection
from the listen queue.

Add ICMP_BANDLIM option and 'net.inet.icmp.icmplim' sysctl. If option
is specified in kernel config, icmplim defaults to 100 pps. Setting it
to 0 will disable the feature. This feature limits ICMP error responses
for packets sent to bad tcp or udp ports, which does a lot to help the
machine handle network D.O.S. attacks.
The kernel will report packet rates that exceed the limit at a rate of
one kernel printf per second. There is one issue in regards to the
'tail end' of an attack... the kernel will not output the last report
until some unrelated and valid icmp error packet is return at some
point after the attack is over. This is a minor reporting issue only.
Any packet that can be matched by a ipfw rule can be redirected
transparently to another port or machine. Redirection to another port
mostly makes sense with tcp, where a session can be set up
between a proxy and an unsuspecting client. Redirection to another machine
requires that the other machine also be expecting to receive the forwarded
packets, as their headers will not have been modified.

rev 1.66. This fix contains both belt and suspenders.
Belt: ignore packets where src == dst and srcport == dstport in TCPS_LISTEN.
These packets can only legitimately occur when connecting a socket to itself,
which doesn't go through TCPS_LISTEN (it goes CLOSED->SYN_SENT->SYN_RCVD->
ESTABLISHED). This prevents the "standard" "land" attack, although doesn't
prevent the multi-homed variation.
Suspenders: send a RST in response to a SYN/ACK in SYN_RECEIVED state.
The only packets we should get in SYN_RECEIVED are
1. A retransmitted SYN, or
2. An ack of our SYN/ACK.
The "land" attack depends on us accepting our own SYN/ACK as an ACK;
in SYN_RECEIVED state; this should prevent all "land" attacks.
We also move up the sequence number check for the ACK in SYN_RECEIVED.
This neither helps nor hurts with respect to the "land" attack, but
puts more of the validation checking in one spot.

Under certain circumstances involving the persist state, it is
possible for the receive side's tp->rcv_nxt to advance beyond its
tp->rcv_adv. This causes (tp->rcv_adv - tp->rcv_nxt) to become
negative. However, in the code affected by this fix, that difference
was interpreted as an unsigned number by max(). Since it was
negative, it was taken as a huge unsigned number. The effect was
to cause the receiver to believe that its receive window had negative
size, thereby rejecting all received segments including ACKs. As
the test case shows, this led to fruitless retransmissions and
eventually to a dropped connection. Even connections using the
loopback interface could be dropped. The fix substitutes the signed
imax() for the unsigned max() function.
