comment How to review code for backdoors?
@Rory Alsop - Yes, right tools, humans and business knowledge. But everything should be done together with the development. After, it is really hard to pay a analyst to do magic or to buy a specific tool. So my opinion the best way to review code for backdoor is together with the development and not after.

comment How to review code for backdoors?
The problem is that all answers now are understanding backdoor as simple a network backdoor, but it can be as well an "easter egg". An example, a logic backdoor in a ATM that allows a bad guy to withdraw all money from the ATM.

comment what is a good public available iptables script for ddos mitigation?
yes, upstream is the right place to do. But from his question we cannot assume that he is an end-user. Maybe he is a netadmin, under attack from a small ISP without no clue :-)

the iptable maybe is not running locally in his server. maybe its a gateway, or even a router running Zebra or Quagga.

i think i will choose this one. i liked the tcpdstat, and i think i will use it, but since my question was about the tshark, i think this result is the best, for my needs, using tshark.
