I just now read the following TheRegister news article about detection
of "Quantum Insert" funny business:

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/04/23/detecting_nsa_style_hacking_tool_unsheathed/

I am prompted to ask here whether or not FreeBSD performs any sort of
logging of instances when "duplicate TCP packets but with different
payloads" occurs, and/or whether FreeBSD provides any options which,
for example, might automagically trigger a close of the relevant TCP
connection when and if such an event is detected.  (Connection close
seems to me to be one possible mitigation strategy, even if it might
be viewed as rather ham-fisted by some.)
