Dear all,

we are communicating with clients over socket via

accept connections on port 9999 with message blablabla

and

Code: Select all

read from socket xzy until

Now, if a client fails, or an attacker makes 10000000 sessions

or whatever the socket is multiple times open... Is there a possibility to kill the idle sockets after 5 seconds? Or can I set a Timeout?

Thanks
Stef

Which OS is running on the server? If Linux I'd set up UFW to handle those DDOS concerns.

Yes, I have iptables in front of the DMZ, but it can not hurt to develop the application with this feature too.
