Will I ever see a _legitimate_ packet in the wild that is a SYN, and has
no MSS ?


If the answer is no, then is this a good rule to block those:

ipfw add 00001 deny tcp from any to any tcpflags syn tcpoptions !mss

Or is this one better:

ipfw add 00002 deny tcp from any to any setup tcpoptions !mss

-----

I am simply trying to place a rule which blocks those packets and does not
deny _any_ legitimate traffic (I don't consider nmapping to be legit for
this discussion) - this is all provided that I am correct that there are
no _legitimate_ packets in the wild that have a SYN and no MSS.

thanks.
