Bezeq takes options in Walla internet portal
State-controlled Bezeq Israel Telecom said it would take options to acquire up to 50 per cent of Walla Communications Ltd, an Israeli internet portal. The first option, valid for three months, would grant Bezeq the right to buy 26 per cent of Walla for around US$5 million. The second option, valid for a year, would enable Bezeq to increase its stake to 50 per cent at a premium of 10 per cent to the price of the first option. The deal is subject to the approval of Israel's privatisation committee and the anti-trust authority. Bloomberg said separately, Bezeq also announced it had signed an agreement to invest $1.6 million for 26 per cent of Infogate On-Line Ltd.
Some genius modded my post as a Troll. I guess it's because they know so much about this vulnerability, and how the exposure goes up as one increases TCP window-size.;-)
Really, though. If you need to calculate a valid offset from the ISN, big TCP-window sizes are of advantage to the attacker.
To quote from the announcement:
In a TCP session, the endpoints can negotiate a TCP Window size. When this is taken into account, instead of attempting to send a spoofed packet with all potential sequence numbers, the attacker would only need to calculate an valid sequence number that falls within the next expected ISN plus or minus half the window size. Therefore, the larger the TCP Window size, the the larger the range of sequence numbers that will be accepted in the TCP stream.
BGP-4 relies on persistent connections, with huge window sizes.
Wecome to your new society of ill-informed, unquestioning citizens!

Lesseee... That must follow your boss' experience. Perhaps he learned no more than his first two years of management taught him in the ten subsequent years.
"Congratulations to Martin Michlmayr on his re-election to Debian Project Leader (his platform). Another year of service, one that will hopefully see the release of Sarge."
Remember when 8086's and 80286's were made by everybody from Harris to NEC? DOS was the standard, and LIM 4 was the memory overlay spec. You could USE something goofy like NEC's 20MHz 8086 clone - when the Intel part topped off shy of 8 Mhz, and the 286 ran at 12MHz!
The whole kit was nearly "off-the-shelf", except for the BIOS. This was what Compaq "clean-room" reverse engineered with such care.
You'll find the jazzers a far less aggressive crowd to run with - no proxy violence via lawsuit. And there are actually real, live girls that will hang around when you play this stuff.

If you didn't have unions, the world would be stuck with the labor practices described by Charles Dickens, Upton Sinclair, Victor Hugo, Emile Zola, John Steinbeck and company. You know: 80 hour work-weeks, in poisonous conditions for slave-wages owed to company stores - while your children die without health care.
Unions and Governments CREATED the middle-class as we know it.
You may prefer serfdom, and the "good old days". Usual liberatarian fantasy bullsh*t.

Thank you.
True enough. If i were trying to guess ISNs on a BSD or Linux box - tough going.
Not so rough for your IOS equipment...
Ahhh. What a GREAT idea.

The Internet BGP tables are ricketey enough these days - they don't need every other route to "flap"!
And all because the Lady loves Milk Tray...

Jobs just produced another reference-book anecdote to illustrate the meaning of arrogance .
Sarge? Hopefully?!
I been waitin' six years for the release of Sid !
Did you have the CGA too? Each character cell looked like it was made of pinheads.
TurboPascal - pre-v5! I used it on the Mac, too!
Oh, yeah NPR, CBC and BBC via Real Streams, too..
Ohhhh... Headaches from 8 straight hours of looking at CGA ANSI graphics in 16 "colors"... TELIX for a terminal, and Sidekick as a TSR.
We had several years of "DOStel".

Flowery sig got idiot filtered at some point!
You want custom, quality, made for Govt. spec code! The kind that is produced by either the low-bidder, or corporate crony!
With a UID in the low 3 digits, and submissions since '98, I dispair of ever having a story accepted.
Start listening to Acid Jazz.
