ISS IPS Tunning parameters (SynFlood Protection)

SynFlood attacks will only be blocked by this signature if the following parameter is set to true (pam.tcp.synflood.protection). 


Some parameters can be adjusted to reduce false-positives or avoid problems in customer's environment, such as :                                            
                                                                      
pam.tcp.synflood.protection.untrusted.rate                             
pam.tcp.synflood.protection.duplicatesyn.retransmit                    
pam.tcp.synflood.protection.duplicatesyn.timeout                       
pam.tcp.synflood.protection.duplicatesyn.enabled                       
pam.tcp.synflood.protection                                            
pam.tcp.synflood.size                                                  
pam.tcp.synflood.limit


For example,
                                                                      
NAME=pam.tcp.synflood.limit                                            
VALUE=1000 


According to your environment, you can modify the above parameter to suit it
