Was isn das altes ?

Aus /usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt

tcp_syncookies - BOOLEAN
        Only valid when the kernel was compiled with CONFIG_SYNCOOKIES
        Send out syncookies when the syn backlog queue of a socket
        overflows. This is to prevent against the common 'syn flood attack'
        Default: FALSE
