1) What ever happened to RST cookies? I see SYN cookies now, but the RST option was taken out. Were they merged with the SYN cookie option, or just discarded?
RST cookies were removed entirely. There were fatal flaws found in the technique such that they RST cookies could be easily subverted and SYN attacks still get through.
