config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_TARPIT
tristate '"TARPIT" target support'
depends on NETFILTER_XTABLES
---help---
Adds a TARPIT target to iptables, which captures and holds incoming TCP
connections using no local per-connection resources. Connections are
accepted, but immediately switched to the persist state (0 byte
window), in which the remote side stops sending data and asks to
continue every 60-240 seconds. Attempts to close the connection are
ignored, forcing the remote side to time out the connection in 12-24
minutes.
This offers similar functionality to LaBrea
<http://www.hackbusters.net/LaBrea/>, but does not require dedicated
hardware or IPs. Any TCP port that you would normally DROP or REJECT
can instead become a tar pit.
