At least the reference to DoS in year 2000 is wrong. DoS were known at the system level (e.g. excessive memory consumption by local processes) long before 2000. Mitnick used the SYN flood at least in 1994. Even Smurf, which is usually classified as a DDoS, was known long before 2000. IDS are not firewalls :) The fist firewall evasion techniques I'm aware of are: - SYN packet fragmentation in order to fool packet filtering routers/firewalls - setting the TTL in legitimate packets in order to map the network behind a firewall. Both were known long before 2006 Regards, - Claudio -- Claudio Telmon claudio () telmon org http://www.telmon.org _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () listserv icsalabs com https://listserv.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
