Winsock special tweaks and limits
hello all, ive been searching a little about this registry entry: hkey_local_machine\system\services\winsock2\parameters\Ws2_32NumHandleBuckets however i cant seem to find any reasonable info ,can anyone here point me out where i can find any specific information for this entry? or does anyone know anything about this entry? i think this entry can be figured out by an intuitive guy who knows bout networking and security? Thanks in advance, RR

what i could notice is that when i set to a value of 1 ,internet speed and latency looks incredibily faster and when i tried first a value of 40(hex or 64 decimal) the speed appeared to be a bit slower and latency a bit late.... anyways ill be looking forward for replies here! All the best, RR

well no reply so far...so guess im going to reply to myself again ..and i was reading some stuff bout sockets and just found out that by decreasing the number of buckets can respond better against denial of service attacks hehe and by setting this to a value of 1 u get the best performance and the best protection agains attacks!!! anyways so if anyone wants to have that setting just create this entry in ur registry and thats it...give it a try and ull see :D Yours, RR
