Dear Bjoern, Bruce, Looking trough linux, netbsd and Bruce old patch (which works with minimal modification at my freebsd 6.2) I have 3 ideas how md5 could be integrated.
1) netbsd method: http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/sys/netinet/tcp_input.c?rev=1.277&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup Look for TCP_SIGNATURE. The main-code part is handled in tcp_dooptions The have modified the return value of tcp_dooptions from void to int. If md5 fails, -1 is returned (ony md5 use this return feature) and in the tcp_input the return value of tcp_dooptions is checked and handled. -> for freebsd: change the retutn value of tcp_dooptions and add little logic to tcp_input function. 2) linux method: Look for CONFIG_TCP_MD5SIG in linux-2.6.24/net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c (sorry no weblink..) They check and block md5-packets early in tcp_v4_do_rcv. afinet.c -> tcp_v4_rcv -> tcp_v4_do_rcv -> for Freebsd: place some logic early in tcp_input function and call a new function to check md5. 3) Bruce extended method: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-net/2004-April/003761.html Use his code and add at severall places in tcp_input function similar checks. Options: *) enable disable it via sysctl *) count total, good and bad packets via sysctl Kind regards, Ingo Flaschberger anytwo(tm) _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
