Use the Packet Capture Syntax Generator to generate meaningful command options. Use the tcpdump command to capture network traffic. The SystemTap script at Where are TCP SYNs coming from? can be used to monitor valid incoming SYNs to sockets in LISTEN state, even SYNs which are later rejected as SYN Flood or with SYN Cookies. You may also wish to inspect the source IP addresses of traffic to the port in question to confirm if client IPs are expected or unexpected. Having many sockets in the SYN-RECV state could mean a malicious "SYN flood" attack, though this is not the only type of malicious attack. Use the netstat or ss commands to inspect TCP socket states as follows, where X is the port number reported in the Possible SYN flooding on port X message: netstat -nta | egrep "State|X" Use application debugging, network monitoring tools, or work with your network team or service provider. Confirm the change in application behaviourÄetermine whether the traffic is valid or malicious.Increase application socket listen backlog.If the application is accepting new connections.Confirm the application is accepting new connections.Determine whether the traffic is valid or malicious.

An understanding of these terms is recommended before investigating or implementing any changes. If required, refer to the below Root Cause section to obtain an understanding of TCP SYN, TCP handshake, listening sockets, SYN flood, and SYN cookies.
#SUPPORT SYN FULL#
During peak periods, RHEL server would drop TCP SYN packets due to the kernel's buffer of LISTEN sockets being full and overflowing.
