Denial of Service Attacks - usage, detection and prevention 
by devnull (reformed irk warrior and still a net.addict) 

Overview: 
Denial of Service Attacks (heretofore referred to as DoS Attacks) are 
attacks sent over the internet to deny service to the receiving end. 
(note: DoS attacks are illegal and easily traceable, I would never 
suggest to do such a thing and would definitely never do such a thing 
myself. - IF YOU DO SOMETHING STUPID AND GET CAUGHT, IT'S NOT MY  
RESPONSIBILITY) 

 
Usage of DoS attacks: 
(note: most of the .c source code files are available at rootshell.com) 
(note: firewall refers to a windows firewall, i suggest conseal pc  
firewall, available at www.signal9.com) 
(note: all patches available at www.webzone.net/ddg_computing/dalnet) 

out-of-band: 
  info: windows doesn't like tcp packets with the oob flag sent to netbios 
  vulnerable: Windows (95/NT/3.x) 
  protocol: tcp/ip, ports: 137-139 
  used for: crash victim's computer 
  symptoms: blue screen of death 
  short-term fix: reboot 
  long-term fix: firewall and patch - vtcpupd.exe 
  detection: firewall 
  launching: winnuke.c (rootshell.com) 

jolt (ssping): 
  info: icmp_echo fragmentation exploit 
  vulnerable: Windows (95/NT/3.x), possibly old MacOS 
  protocol: icmp (echo) 
  used for: crash victim's computer 
  symptoms: blue screen of death 
  short-term fix: reboot 
  long-term fix: firewall and patch - vipup11.exe/vipup20.exe 
  detection: firewall 
  launching: jolt.c (rootshell.com) 

icmp_echo flooding: 
  info: basic packet flooding 
  vulnerable: all 
  protocol: icmp (echo) 
  used for: slow (lag) modem connection until it ping timeouts 
  symptoms: major lag while not doing anything that would cause it 
  short-term fix: redial into ISP 
  long-term fix: firewall 
  detection: firewall 
  launching: ping (rootshell.com) 

udp datagram flooding: 
  info: basic packet flooding 
  vulnerable: all 
  protocol: udp, ports: all 
  used for: slow (lag) modem connection until it ping timeouts 
  symptoms: major lag while not doing anything that would cause it 
  short-term fix: redial into ISP 
  long-term fix: firewall 
  detection: firewall 
  launching: pepsi.c (rootshell.com) 

icmp unreach: 
  info: creates packets that trick client into disconnecting 
  vulnerable: all 
  protocol: icmp (unreachable) 
  used for: disconnect from irc 
  symptoms: unexplained (repeated) disconnections from irc 
  short-term fix: reconnect to irc server 
  long-term fix: firewall 
  detection: firewall or other program that will monitor icmp unreachables 
  launching: puke.c (rootshell.com) 

teardrop (similar to jolt): 
  info: one in a series of udp fragmentation exploits 
  vulnerable: Windows (95/NT), Linux kernel 2.0.31 
  protocol: icmp (echo) 
  used for: crashing victim's computer 
  symptoms: blue screen of death/total freezeup 
  short-term fix: reboot 
  long-term fix: firewall/vipupd20.exe 
  detection: firewall 
  launching: teardrop.c (rootshell.com) 

boink (bonk/newtear): 
  info: newest of udp header/fragmentation exploits (modified teardrop) 
  vulnerable: Windows (95/NT) 
  protocol: icmp (echo) 
  used for: crashing victim's computer 
  symptoms: blue screen of death/freezeup 
  short-term fix: reboot 
  long-term fix: firewall 
  detection: firewall 
  launching: boink.c/bonk.c/newtear.c (rootshell.com) 

land: 
  info: spoofs a tcp syn packet from the same ip as you send it to 
  vulnerable: Windows (95/NT) 
  protocol: tcp/ip, ports: any that are open on your system (113, 139) 
  used for: crashing victim's computer 
  symptoms: total freezeup 
  short-term fix: reboot 
  long-term fix: patch (vipup11.exe/vipup20.exe) 
  detection: none that can be easily setup 
  launching: land.c/latierra.c
