3.14 Security Setting
By setting up this security setting, keep your
LAN
away from hacker attack.
DoS
stands for Denial of Service. It’s a method the hackers use to prevent or deny legitimate users
access to a computer.
DoS
attacks are typically executed using
DoS
tools that send many requests packets
to a targeted Internet server
(usually Web, FTP, or Mail server)
, which floods the
server's resources, making the system unusable. Any system that is connected to the Internet and
is equipped with
TCP-based
network services is subject to attack. To prevent
DoS
Attack, set up
the below option.

•
