Re: TCP RST attack (the cause of all that MD5-o-rama)

[James <haesu () towardex com>]

now let me take a bite at this :P

i can see this 'attack' operational against a multihop bgp session that's
not md5'd.

now the question is... would this also affect single-hop bgp sessions?
my understanding would be no, as single-hops require ttl set to 1.
