Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 324270 contains the following summary:
Denial of service (DoS) attacks are network attacks that are aimed at making a computer or a particular service on a computer unavailable to network users. Denial of service attacks can be difficult to defend against. To help prevent denial of service attacks, you can use one or both of the following methods:
| • | Keep your computer updated with the
latest security fixes.
Security fixes are
located on the following Microsoft Web site: http://www.microsoft.com/security
|
| • | Harden the TCP/IP protocol stack on your Windows Server 2003 computers. The default TCP/IP stack configuration is tuned to handle standard intranet traffic. If you connect a computer directly to the Internet, Microsoft recommends that you harden the TCP/IP stack against denial of service attacks. |
