Which algorithm is used for IP fragmentation ID?

2011-09-03 Thread ian ivy
Hello everyone. It is my first post on this mailinglist. As we know in FreeBSD there is the pseudo random number generator (PRNG) for random IP fragmentation ID. It is available when "net.inet.ip.random_id" sysctl variable is set to 1 (default 0). I would like to know, which algorithm (X2, X3 or A

Thanks Jason. Of course opening (or doing whatever with) mem, kmem etc. is a security flaw. A fatal flaw. I thought that OpenBSD team has done nice work to achieve a compromise between security and the use of X and it could be done with FreeBSD. I already have implemented some of MAC's policies (e

Hello, By default FreeBSD uses MD5 to encrypt passwords. MD5 is believed to be more secure than e.g. DES but less than e.g. SHA512. Currently several major Linux distributions, uses a SHA512 mechanism. Suse Linux also offers a blowfish. Some Debian based distributions use MD5-based algorithm comp
