Most Service Ports No Longer In Stealth Mode
Greetings, I have the following NETGEAR product:
Nighthawk 4-Stream AX1800 WiFi 6 Router (RAX10) Serial Number:
All of my router's service ports used to be in stealth mode. Testing was done a...
Sadly same issue here out of the first 1024 ports only 3 are stealth all other are closed.
(my RAX10 is on firmware version 1.0.19.172)
When i disabled the "protection engine" all ports do go stealth.
I ALSO have this problem, Router is a Netgear Nighthawk RAX54v2. I recently have been getting TCP SYN Flooded daily, 100s of entries but none are saying if they are blocked or anything just that they happened on tons of high # ports. I've researched how to stop it for over 3 weeks and NOTHING. The router has no ability to stop it and cant make SYN cookies. Also cant even stop it with 'block services' because it only blocks LAN IPs and NOT Virtual ones. It's HORRID and slows me down so I tried to figure out if i can HIDE from it. If i STEALTH my ports then they can't try to SYN them right? So I used GRC and... 80% of my ports are CLOSED and only a handful are STEALTHed.
So yeah... no help from Netgear, newest farmwear is up to date and all that. Netgear NEEDS to do something about this, im tired of these floods.
