The configurations have been checked by the Checkpoint Tech Support and the Checkpoint SMEs from our team. This is not a mis-configuration issue and SYNdefender is disabled. Regards, Sanjay Naik, CISSP Sr. Security Consultant ----Original Message Follows---- From: David Henning <dhenning@....com> To: "Pawel Worach" <pawel.worach@...il.com> CC: bugtraq@...urityfocus.com, sanjaynaik@...e.org Subject: Re: Checkpoint SYN DoS Vulnerability Date: Tue, 16 May 2006 17:00:03 -0400 Souds to me like the firewall is configured to confuse scanners on purpose. If the performance really does degrad to DoS levels then this is more likely a mis-configuration of one of their add-ons, not an actual bug. Have the settings for their IPS and SYN-Defender been checked carefully?
