Hello all

I am facing the followin problem……..


This is the situation.
I am using a packet generator from my Linux box in order to attack my windows box.
It seems that when the packet generator sends packets with my real IP they reach at my windows XP box and the sniffer software logs them and I can analyze them.

It seems though that when I sent forged packets they do not reach my windows XP box.

Assumption 1) my guess is that my ISP (Pipex UK) does not allow forged packets

Assumption 2) I can use a proxy server in order to try and attack my windows XP box

How would that take place?


In the information I have read so far there is no explanation or inadequate explanation on how to make a program other than a web browser to connect to a proxy and things are even worse when it comes to Linux programs.

How will I establish communication with my proxy using my real IP since my ISP will not allow otherwise, and then ask/command it to send the forged packets? Could tunneling be the answer? There must be a simpler way…


Assumption 3) also since a proxy will connect to my windows box with its own IP I think I am in need of a transparent proxy.

Is it possible that there is a much simpler way and I am overcomplicating things? (Setting up a network between the two boxes is not an option since it will give wrong results to my experiments) .By the way I am trying to simulate a non-blind/blind TCP hijacking attack.

P.S does this post belong here?

Thanks
