Re: [PLUG] Increase in SSH break-in attempts?

["Eric Hidle" <junkmail@ie-ap.org>]

For every SYN there is a timeout while waiting for an ACK... by DROPing
instead of REJECTing, the initiating host sits around waiting for the ACK.
REJECT will send an ICMP message indicating that an ACK is not forthcoming,
so the thread that is initiating the connection will know to give up
immediately...
