Click the Windows 'Start' button and select 'Run.' Enter 'regedit' in the text box and click the 'Enter' key. This opens the Windows registry, where you will add the settings.
Navigate to the folder 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services' in the registry. New values for this key will be added to prevent the server from using resources during a SYN attack.
Right-click the 'Services' folder and select 'New Key' and choose 'DWORD' as the value. Enter 'SynAttackProtect' for the key name. Enter '2' as the value. This provides the best defense against a SYN attack by making the connection time out more quickly. The '2' represents the amount of time the IIS server will wait before it stops expecting a reply from the client. By stopping this time sooner, it frees up resources sooner and stops the server from waiting too long, saving websites from poor performance during SYN attacks. This is the recommended value by Microsoft.
Right-click the 'Service' folder and select 'New Key' and choose 'DWORD' for the type. Enter 'EnableDeadGWDetect' for the name. Enter the value of '0' in the text box. This disables the host from sending traffic to an unintended gateway, which could cause a breach in security.
Right-click the 'Service' folder and select 'New Key' and choose 'DWORD' for the type. Enter 'EnablePMTUDiscovery' as the name and enter '0' for the value. This disables the use of high amounts of resources on the computer, protecting it from memory overload and crashes.
Close the registry and reboot the computer for the changes to take effect.
