A few years ago, I listened to a speech by Christoph Schuba of Sun
Micro at San Jose State Univ., on his reasearch at COAST on denial of
service attacks on TCP (Syn floods).  From his reasearch, COAST
developed a tool called SynKill which is simular to Checkpoint's
SynDefender and Cisco's Anti-Syn Attack feature in their IOS.  For
some unexplained reason on the COAST website, they're not making
SynKill available to the general public.

Does anyone have any information where I can:

1)  Find out why they're not giving it out (from Schuba's paper, it
sounded to be pretty sucessful)

2)  Get the program anyways.

You can read the paper at:

Thanks!
