Hi all.
I was playing a bit on some of my machines with Nessus (www.nessus.org), and it
told me the following text:
"The remote host uses non-random IP IDs, that is, it is
possible to predict the next value of the ip_id field of
the ip packets sent by this host.
An attacker may use this feature to determine if the remote
host sent a packet in reply to another request. This may be
used for portscanning and other things.
Solution : Contact your vendor for a patch
Risk factor : Low"
Is there some option to dinamically enable this random IP ID's, or I need to
change something and recompile, or just "No way!"?
Please cc me as i'm not subscribed to the list.
Thanks in advance.
