Well, it's still going on, and is pretty much ruining Libero :( . Running CentOS 6, here.

Actually, I think from what I'm seeing that it may not exactly be a synflood targeting Libero. I think Libero may be being (ab)used to do massive portscanning or similar.

Image should be visible below - it's normal statistics for the 18th through say, part of the 21st, messed up 22ed - 24th and on the 24th me trying different things in an attempt to mitigate (graph is from yesterday). Look at the SYN_SENT2 maximum.



When it's happening it can look like this:

# netstat -n | grep -c SYN
17696
#

Also one tiny part of the netstat looked like this:


tcp        0      1 64.113.32.29:33354          <external IP munged>:81            SYN_SENT   
tcp        0      1 64.113.32.29:39659          <external IP munged>:8888         SYN_SENT   
tcp        0      1 64.113.32.29:44247          <external IP munged>:87            SYN_SENT   
tcp        0      1 64.113.32.29:42038          <external IP munged>:8888         SYN_SENT   
tcp        0      1 64.113.32.29:42077          <external IP munged>:83           SYN_SENT   
tcp        0      1 64.113.32.29:36282          <external IP munged>:8888         SYN_SENT   
tcp        0      1 64.113.32.29:46023          <external IP munged>:8888           SYN_SENT

Port 8888 is supposedly opened up for listen by a virus.
