Description Steffen Weber 2015-11-26 08:17:12 UTC

The nfsynproxy tool is used to detect parameters for the SYNPROXY module. I'd find it useful to have this tool compiled by default or via a new USE flag.

See: http://rhelblog.redhat.com/2014/04/11/mitigate-tcp-syn-flood-attacks-with-red-hat-enterprise-linux-7-beta/

Reproducible: Always
