TCP Null Attack
Layer 4 · Transport
Description
Sends packets with no flags set in the TCP header, bypassing some firewalls and IDS systems.
Mitigation Capabilities
- Anycast: Yes, disperses TCP null traffic.
- NGINX Proxy: No, irrelevant for TCP flag manipulation.
- HAProxy: No, not designed for null packet filtering.
- IDS Suricata: Yes, detects unusual TCP null packets.
- WAF: No, irrelevant for TCP-level attacks.
- OWASP Rules: No, unrelated to TCP null threats.
- Complex anycast solution – WEDOS Protection: Yes, handles TCP null attacks effectively.
Solutions
Use firewalls with advanced TCP flag detection.
