Hmm...that threat has been on the wire for a while now (syncookies and what not)...not too concerned, but good heads up.

thing is they found this out by simply running scans on servers.. and a scan which ran something like 40 packets per second caused MAJOR servers to drop.
when they investigated what happened they realized a very simple and light DoS to the tcp/ip stack caused the system to crash.
This is something that is new, this exact exploit has never been seen before.
friend works for http://www.outpost24.com/ which is a pretty intensive security company.
