Or you could have afirewall drop all apckets from that ip.

Networking stacks can be patched.

Subject: DoS Local machines

Hello all,

I am a network admin that is willing to take the next step in preventing
machines from attacking other machines on my network.  Let's say that IDS
such as LIDS detects an attack, I am planning on an offensive attack upon
the attacker (provided that the 'attacker' is an ip not coming from
outside of my router). I have control of over 2500 machines in several
cities and I can't look at an ip and then walk over to the box and work
with the machine.  With this said, I have control over the 2500 machines,
but I do not have admin access to every machine and security holes are
abundant. What I'm working on is a way to stop one machine from attacking
another on my network.  We have 9x, NT, linux, solaris, and AIX machines
on the network.  The AIX machines I'm not *as* worried about as I have
complete control over these boxes.  Here is a list of DoS's for the OS's
listed above that I know about:

9x - OOB, malformed packets, (choose your nuke)
NT - pretty much same as 9x
linux - nestea, land

Arp cache poisoning, and icmp redirects are attacks that I'm working with
so far.

Yes I know I can browse my way through about 50 DoS's on packetstorm,
rootshell (what happening with these guys), hack.co.za, etc.  What I'm
looking for is more along the lines of arp cache poisoning, icmp
redirects, etc that do not freeze the entire machine but only stop the
network stack.  Then a more drastic approach if that doesn't work.
Any help in this thought process would be greatly appreciated.

Jason
