What is DaM?

DaM is a Linux kernel module (DaM means DaM is A Module) to stop any attack like DoS, any portscan type and strange packets traffic.

What are main features of DaM?

The main features of DaM are:
  1. it runs on 2.4.x and 2.6.x Linux kernel version;
  2. DaM is entirely written in C language;
  3. it blocks syn, null, xmas, fin and simple scan;
  4. it prevents syn DoS;
  5. if you want it drops icmp echo requests;
  6. DaM has a tool (called dam :-) ) in user level to change the behavior. This renders it flexible and powerful;
