Rate Limit Packets with Windows Firewall 2008?

Question

Is there any way to limit the incoming packets from the same IP address to X per second? We run specific types of services (game servers) on our machines, and a lot of exploits for it rely on spamming 70-100 empty packets to it.

Have you looked into Policy-Based QoS? Depending on the protocol they are sending those packets in, you could be able to limit it with that.

Here's the location of the Policy: Group Policy Manager > Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings, right-click Policy-based QoS > click Create new Policy

Here's all the values.

If they are sending the blank packets on the same port as your game runs on, this probably won't work.

They are being sent on the same port, but I will check this out anyways. Thanks! – Aidan Knight Jul 21 '11 at 01:58
