that hackers send to cause System malfunction. This attack can cause network
speed to slow down, or even make it necessary to restart the computer to get a
normal operation .
Detect IP Spoofing Attack:
„

trusted users of the network in Spoof attacks. They use a fake identity to try to
pass through the RS-1200 System and invade the network .

Select this option to detect the port scans hackers use to continuously scan
networks on the Internet to detect computers and vulnerable ports that are opened
by those computers .
Detect Tear Drop Attack:
„
Select this option to detect tear drop attacks. These are packets that are
segmented to small packets with negative length. Some Systems treat the
negative value as a very large number, and copy enormous data into the System to
cause System damage, such as a shut down or a restart.
Filter IP Route Option:
„ Each IP packet can carry an optional field that specifies the replying address that
can be different from the source address specified in packet’s header. Hackers can
use this address field on disguised packets to invade LAN networks and send LAN
networks’ data back to them.
