SPASS mit Fyodor (Autor von 'nmap')

[Josef 'Jupp' Schugt]

Hallo!

Heute ist der 1.April. Fyodor hat das zum Anlass genommen, eine Mail
mit dem Titel 'Nmap compliance with new RFC 3514' zu schicken:

> Security expert Steven Bellovin just released RFC 3514 which
> details an innovative new approach to IPv4 security. The described
> "security bit" flags the intention of IP traffic (0x0 means
> innocent and 0x1 is for "evil" packets). The RFC (below)
> specifically notes the dual-purpose nature of security scanners
> such as Nmap:
> 
> "Some hosts scan other hosts in a fashion that can alert intrusion
> detection systems. If the scanning is part of a benign research
> project, the evil bit MUST NOT be set. If the scanning per se is
> innocent, but the ultimate intent is evil and the destination site
> has such an intrusion detection system, the evil bit SHOULD be
> set."

Den Rest habe ich mal weggeschnipselt, war mir etwas zu lang um ihn
an die Liste zu schicken.
