Hi Michael,
The syntax is a logical OR on the bit position in the IP packet.
Checking for the SYN bit will return true if the SYN bit is on no matter
what other bits are set in the packet.  

For more details on the firewall filter syntax for tcp-flags I recommend
the following URL:

http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/software/junos/junos56/swconfig56-policy
/html/firewall-config14.html

In theory you could change the policy to be:

tcp-flags "syn & ack";

Hello Stephen-
I was looking at the secure junos-template, and I'm a little confused by
the
tcp-flood-detect filter.  It says to apply this outbound to lo0, and
that an
indication of a possible flood attack could be a "high packets-syn to
packets-tcp" ratio.  Does this assume that the router is the origin of
the
attack?  If the attack is originating from another host and targeting
the
router, wouldn't we need to count the outbound syn-acks from the router?
Or
does the "syn" flag count both syn and syn-ack packets?  Good chance I'm
missing something here, but thought I'd ask anyway.  Thanks for any
clarifications.

Hi, 

In order to hardern my M-series, I would like to ask you how to
configure
M-series to detect anti-dos, tcp-flood, land-attack, or other security
threats.

I have downloaded some security white papers from juniper web site, but
would like to know other resources besides the juniper web site.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.


Regards
Hendro
