Mr. Jacky

Thank's for your comment, i have been read book from mr. Stephen 
Northcutt, he explain about SYN Flood very clearly, but he never talk about 
range value for SYN. So, if you have some paper or resource about how to 
maesure this value, please kindly  inform to me. 

Actually i want make some research about that, but i dont know where is the 
point to start.

Regards,


Panji
