Hi,
I’m pretty new to this, so bare with me, if i ask some very basic questions…
I have the following setup:
Mac OSX 10.15.4
VMware Fusion 11.5.3 running:
- GNS3 2.2.8
- Kali Linux VMware 64-bit v.2020.2
- MikroTik v. 7.0beta5 running in GNS3.
I’m doing a school project, where i’m trying to conduct a hping3 syn attack from Kali Linux. (tried with the synflood-auxiliary as well, but that didn’t hit Mikrotik with the same amount of requests)
I can see all the SYN-requests in wireshark, and i can see a slight increase in CPU usage when using
/system resource monitor
and alot of trafic on
/interface monitor-traffic ether1
. BUT… When enabling syn-cookies (
/ip settings set tcp-syncookies=yes
), the attack still hits Mikrotik with the same amount of trafic, and doesn’t seem affected by it..
Am i missing something very obvious?
