Hello,
There were some messages several weeks refering to the fact that DU4.0E
uses constant TCP sequence numbers. Not being a TCP expert, I was
wondering about what the conventional wisdom is with respect to constant
sequence numbers and security, and how much of a problem that is. I am
looking for opinions of those more enlightened than myself. As I
understand it (which I don't claim is much), this could/would facilitate
such things as IP spoofing or perhaps even worse stuff.
Any info about whether constant sequence numbers are a problem, general
info on the ramifications, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
As always, I'll summarize for the list.
