Type following command to disable SYN flood attacks (SYN cookie
Code:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_syncookies
Or put in /etc/sysctl.conf file

Use netstat command to find out connections and drop them using iptables.
Code:
iptables -A INPUT -s IP-ADDRESS -p tcp –destination-port 80  -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -s IP-ADDRESS   -j DROP
Make sure your server is not creacked and any PHP/perl script connecting to botnet to attack on other servers. You need to go through log files.
