Re: Attacks based on predictable process IDs??

current linux kernels provide more than 15bit pids ( I think its 30 or 
31bits). Not much more, but it makes it slightly more difficult. 

Your "current" linux doesn't seem to be stable yet ;) I haven't seen pids
wider than 15 bits on any production system :)

Cheers,
