Juniper Js Screen Monitor Syn Attk

1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.39.1.8.1.1.1.1.3

The SYN (TCP connection request) attack is a common denial of service (DoS) technique characterized by the following pattern: - Using a spoofed IP address not in use on the Internet, an attacker sends multiple SYN packets to the target machine. - For each SYN packet received, the target machine allocates resources and sends an acknowledgement (SYN-ACK) to the source IP address. This can cause the target machine to allocate resources for more than 3 minutes to respond to just one i SYN attack, hence wasting resources. This attribute records the number of SYN attacks.
