Enable Hacker Attack Protect
– Network attacks that deny access to a network
device are called DoS attacks. DoS attacks are aimed at devices and networks with
a connection to the Internet. Their goal is not to steal information, but to disable a
device or network so users no longer have access to network resources. The Router
protects against the following DoS attacks: IP Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of Death,
Smurf Attack, TCP null scan, ICMP defect, and TCP SYN flooding.
Discard PING from WAN side
– Prevents pings on the unit’s WiMAX interface from
being routed to the network.
Discard to PING the Gateway
– Prevents any response to a ping to the unit’s IP
address.
Drop Port Scan
– Prevents outside hackers form testing the TCP/UDP port
numbers on the unit for any services.
