('binary' encoding is not supported, stored as-is) Fpf kernel module by |CyRaX| [cyraxat_private] (www.pkcrew.org) alters linux tcp/ip stack to emulate other OS'es against nmap/queso fingerprints using parser by FuSyS that reads nmap-os-fingerprints for os emulation choice. However, attempts to send fragmented packets to local or remote machine with nmap (-sS -f, -sN -f, -sX -f, -sF -f, -sA -f) or hping (hping -f) using host with loaded fpf.o lead to kernel panic ("Aiee, killing interrupt handle. Kernel panic: Attempted to kill the idle task ! In interrupt handler - not syncing.") if run from console or force immediate reboot if the packet sending tool is run from an xterm. When fpf.o - running machine recieves nmap / hping fragmented packets from remote hosts system freezes. Security through obscurity was never a pefect solution, but in the current case there is also a hefty price to pay: complete inability of tcp/ip stack of "obscured" machine to deal with packet fragmentation. Tested on Slackware 7.1 kernel 2.2.16 (i386).
