SYNdrop
SYNdrop is a program used by an attacker to send IP fragments that cannot be reassembled properly by manipulating the offset value of a packet. This may cause reboot or halt of victim system. Many other variants of SYNdrop such as targa, TearDrop, Boink, Nestea Bonk, TearDrop2 and NewTear are available. A simple reboot is the preferred remedy after this happening.
