Functional Notes
WinNuke attack is a well-known denial of service attack on hosts running Microsoft Windows
®
operating
systems. An intruder sends out of band (OOB) data over an established connection to a Windows user.
Windows cannot properly handle the OOB data and the host reacts unpredictably. Normal shut-down of the
hosts will generally return all functionality. Using the ip firewall check winnuke command configures the
AOS
stateful inspection firewall to filter all OOB data to prevent network problems.
Usage Examples
The following example enables the firewall to filter all OOB data:
(config)#ip firewall check winnuke
The AOS security features must be enabled (using the ip firewall command) for the stateful
inspection firewall to be activated.
