Re: TCP vs UDP II

[Alevizos Dimos <dimos () alevizos gr>]

I think it depends... I know for sure that ettercap (on linux) can 
hijack a tcp connection and inject whatever data the intruder wants 
(it's child's play for instance to hijack a telnet to a router and send 
back to the operator fake answers from the router)...
But in order to do that it has to be on the same lan (it can work even 
in switched lans) with one of the two machines...
If you're talking about some guy who's miles away to be able to hijack a 
telnet connection from you to some other machine... i don't know... :-)
