C. Complete all half open sessions, make the full open session

Correct Answer: D Section: (none) Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation: A TCP SYN attack occurs when an attacking source host generates TCP SYN packets with random source addresses and sends them in rapid succession to a victim host. The victim destination host sends a SYN ACK back to the random source address and adds an entry to the connection queue. Since the SYN ACK is destined for an incorrect or nonexistent host, the acknowledgment is never completed and the entry remains in the connection queue until a timer expires. The connection queue fills up and legitimate users cannot use TCP services. However, with CBAC, TCP packets flow from the outside only in response to traffic sent from the inside. The attacking host can’t get its packets through, and the attack does not succeed. In addition, by inspecting inbound on the external interface (interface serial 0 in the example above), CBAC can account for half-open connections through the firewall and begin closing those half-open connections in an aggressive mode. The firewall will calm down once the number of half-open connections settles down to a user-defined value.
