What can be done to prevent flooding?

Flood-proof Structures

Install "check valves" in sewer traps to prevent flood water back ups. Construct interior barriers to stop low level floodwater from entering basements. Seal walls in basements with waterproofing compounds to avoid seepage. Remove inventory or important papers and possessions from the basement.

What is SYN flood attack and how can it be prevented?

SYN floods are a form of DDoS attack that attempts to flood a system with requests in order to consume resources and ultimately disable it. You can prevent SYN flood attacks by installing an IPS, configuring your firewall, installing up to date networking equipment, and installing commercial monitoring tools.
