Hello everybody. There are now many years I find regularly this kind of error messages in my logs : kernel: TCP: Treason uncloaked! Peer x.x.x.x:x/80 shrinks window x:x. Repaired. There are many years, I search the web about that, and that I don't find anything excepted other people asking the same thing than me... Perhaps someone of you know the answer to these questions : what does mean this error message ? What causes it ? Is this dangerous for the system ? If it's not really dangerous, why this message is so frightenning ?
I just googled and it is said that the message can be caused by a "tar-pit" attack. I am not clear what this kind of attack is, but it seems that you are attacked by some hosts on the net. And the main question : How is it possible that there isn't any
documentation, nor answer, nor anything about this, only questions similar to mine ? Thanks for any information about that -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
