Considering the real world, Both the Land attack and Teardrop attack are specific attacks that affected Microsoft implementations of the TCP/IP stack during and prior to early service packs of NT4. It's unlikely that any modern day IP stack is still vulnerable to these types of attacks. And most long-distance attacks will fail anyway because there are enough anti-spoofing and detection devices operating at Layer-2 between the attacker and the intended victim. I'm not saying that these attacks do not still need to be mitigated, but I would have hoped that someone would have patched these machines by now :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
