| Protect your servers against Denial-of-Service attacks |
| Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks prevent your servers from being accessible by |
| authorized users simply by making them too busy to respond to your users' |
| requests. The best way to protect against DoS attacks is to implement a firewall |
| on your network to block the attacks. If you don't have access to a firewall, |
| another strategy you can implement is to modify your computer's registry to |
| prevent your server from responding to DoS attacks. |
| To modify the registry, begin by opening Registry Editor. Next, access the |
| HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters key. |
| Choose Edit | Add Value. In the Value Name text box, type SynAttackProtect. From the Data Type |
| dropdown list, select REG_DWORD. Click OK. In the Data text box, type 2, and then click OK. By |
| setting this value to 2, you protect your server against DoS attacks. |
