Yes but this effectively means that fragmentation attacks are useless if launched across the 'Net and when performing a penetration test without local access. Also, even internal host systems are usually segregated from servers and server vlans by a firewall, so even then, I can't see how fragmentation attacks would be effective. The only scenario that I can think of would be within the same subnet or vlan where traffic doesn't pass through a firewall. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thank you. --- Harry Hoffman <hhoffman () ip-solutions net> wrote:
yep, unfortunately not enough people using host based firewalls and alot of attacks happen inside of where the firewall protects (i.e. local lan) seclt yuri wrote:Hi, I was just reading up on fragmentation attacksusingfragrouter and fragrouter as a mean of IDS/IPS evasion. However, since almost all firewalls both commercial and free (iptables for examples) nowhavesupport for fragment reassembly, are fragmentation attacks still effective? Thanks.
