Hi there What I know about "land" attack is that it send a TCP packet with source address, source port, destination address, destination port set as the same. My question is can someone explain to me why this will cause system degradation or even crash? What's fix in FreeBSD? If there isn't a short answer, pointer of info is appreciated. /oliver
