WishCow Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I'm wondering if there are any modified files to allow raw socket generation after installing service pack2,like there is a tcpip.sys file for allowing more than 10 simultaneous connections.Anyone?

jftuga Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Yes, there is a patch to increase the number of connections...http://www.google.com/search?&q=tcpip.sys+patch-John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 This limitation is just for half-connections ... p2p/download/upload is okay with this limitation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegis Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I thought he was talking about a patch for raw sockets, and used the connection patch as an example .As far as I know, raw sockets are insecure and that's why it's been patched. You can always revert to SP1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WishCow Posted March 23, 2006 Author Share Posted March 23, 2006 I used it as an example, don't say I wasn't clear...Any way I can do this with sp2? Maybe by replacing the file(s) that handle this part of the os, with the ones from sp1? If so, anyone knows the file name(s)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmX.Memnoch Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 This limitation is just for half-connections ... p2p/download/upload is okay with this limitationI'm glad someone else realizes this... Half-open connections are a bad thing. Too many half-open connections can hurt your network performance. It's how DDOS attacks are generally carried out. Has anyone noticed that there have been a lot less large scale DDOS attacks since this limitation was put into XP SP2 and 2003 SP1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegis Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I thought we just established that he wasn't talking about half-open connections ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmX.Memnoch Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 We did...I'm just glad to see someone finally explain that the half-open connections limit isn't a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
