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.

•

packet on irregular continuous condition over the time you set.
