Detecting Packets with Either a Loose or Strict Source Route Option Set

Checking for SYN flags can also prevent attackers from using IP source route options to hide their true address and access restricted areas of a network by specifying a different path. TCP SYN checking is on by default.

For background information, read Understanding Attacker Evasion Techniques.

To detect and record, but not block, packets with a loose or strict source route option set, use the JUNOS CLI configuration editor.

user@host# set security screen ip-loose-src-route ip loose-source-route-option
user@host# set security screen ip-strict-src-route ip strict-source-route-option
user@host# set security zones security-zone zone screen ip-strict-src-route
