Graphing Randomness in TCP Initial Sequence Numbers

Posted by michael on from the winning-lottery-numbers-in-there-somewhere dept.

Saint Aardvark writes "This is neat: Graphic visualization of how random TCP Initial Sequence Numbers really are for different OSs. It's a great way of seeing how secure a TCP stack really is. Cisco IOS is great; OS9, OpenVMS and IRIX aren't. Posted to the ever-lovin' BugTraq mailing list." This is a follow-up to the previous report.

    I think it's interesting that the graph for Windows 2000 and NT4 SP6a is not available.

    Might this be a bit of MS led DNS attack.

    These people should be put behind bars for trying to crack the TCP/IP stack. They have also attacked so many different OS's. Atleast MS should sue them.
