Exclamation IPTABLES to block sync flood over udp port


Im victim of a sync flood attack over udp port, this came from a lot of different ips. The machine, dedicated server, is hlds game server, and the attacker overload the udp ports, this cause a big trouble ingame, with packet loss and high ping for every user in the game.

The server is under linux, with iptables activated, and for now, with some rules to stop this attack, but nothing happend for my lucky.

IPTABLES
Quote:
iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m length --length 5 -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m multiport --dport 20000:60000 -m state --state NEW -m recent --set --name HLDSFLOOD
iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m multiport --dport 20000:60000 -m state --state NEW -m recent --update --seconds 1 --hitcount 10 --name HLDSFLOOD -j DROP
Thanks in advance. Let me know if you need more info to solve this kind of attack.

That rule sounds a little cpu intensive... maybe increase --seconds to 60, also make sure your HLDS is up to date.
