Hello fellas, system: freebsd 8.0 with pf A couple of years ago I wanted to limit a string with pf and I could not find a way to do it. Back in the day, I was running a dc++ software on FreeBSD and the most common way of flood was this "string attack". The idea was simple: more than "x" number of packages containing this "string" = dc++ software stuck. I remember a friend of mine was able to limit the number per second to something but I was unable to do the same in pf. Back then I was using FreeBSD6.2 but I can't find a way to do it even now. Can someone shed some light ? Were you trying something similar ?
