Re: [Full-disclosure] TCP Hijacking (aka Man-in-the-Middle)

Dear Valdis.Kletnieks@vt.edu,

There  is  a  difference  between "you needn't" and "you can't" and "you
won't".  You  say you needn't spoof another one. I say you won't and you
can't.

VKve> And Michael Zalewski's work showed that even on many boxes that *claim*

I  afraid  you  misunderstanding  or  misinterpreting results of Michael
Zalewski's  work  (which is, by the way, last real "hack" in the initial
meaning  of this word in the field of computer security). In most cases,
you have good probability to guess SN after some number of guesses. E.g.
for  Windows NT 4 you have 100% probability after 5000 guesses. There is
no  OS  with  100% or even 50% probablity after 1 guess. And you have to
remember,  that  result  of  the  guess is not known to you immediately,
because you are spoofing blindly.
