Does an attacker who wants to attack a server include aspect that this maybe a system utilizing port knocking in this way? Perhaps if he has focused at this system? Am i right to say, your invented os fingerprint is random and unique and because of unlimited IP option field's length there's no chance left for attacker to brute force ports with different option field values et cetera to get correct option field + window size + ttl + flag? regards ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Audit your website security with Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner: Hackers are concentrating their efforts on attacking applications on your website.
