Really? I'm sincerely interested in obtaining one of those. Please send me an email at [email protected]

LOL! Really though, XTC46..You're exactly right. Any knowledge, past or present is good knowledge. It's just like me wanting to recreate the teardrop attack vulnerability [EDIT: I meant to refer what is actually called an Overlapping Fragment Attack. NOT a teardrop attack.] and use packet fragmentation to bypass an ipchains firewall. Doesn't matter to me that the vulnerability is not present anymore, it's the knowledge and experience that I am more interested in.

On the other hand, it WOULD have been nice to know when I ran into this article, that this was a historical thing. lol!

And on the other hand again, I now know that Snort has fixed this with the Stream4 preprocessor. Any knowledge is good knowledge in my book ;-)
