What happens with Teardrop, though, is that your stack is buried with IP fragments that have overlapping fields. When your stack tries to reassemble them, it can't do it, and if it doesn't know to toss these trash packet fragments out, it can quickly fail. Most systems know how to deal with Teardrop now, and a firewall can block Teardrop packets at the expense of a bit more latency on network connections, since this makes it disregard all broken packets. Of course, if you throw a ton of Teardrop busted packets at a system, it can still crash.

And, then, there's SYN, to which there really isn't a perfect cure. In a SYN Flood, the attack works by overwhelming the protocol handshake that has to happen between two Internet-aware applications when they start a work session. The first program sends out a TCP SYN (synchronization) packet, which is followed by a TCP SYN-ACK acknowledgment packet from the receiving application. Then, the first program replies with an ACK (acknowledgment). Once this has been done, the applications are ready to work with each other |
