TCP Chorusing |
||
Counts the number of ACKs to a SYN Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Microsoft Windows 95 and 98 clients have the ability to bind multiple TCP/IP stacks on the same MAC address, simply by having the protocol added more than once in the Network Control panel. The remote host has several TCP/IP stacks with the same IP bound on the same MAC address. As a result, it will reply several times to the same packets, such as by sending multiple ACK to a single SYN, creating noise on your network. If several hosts behave the same way, then your network will be brought down. Solution : Remove all the IP stacks except one in the remote host.
