The average was about 9 packets per minute. Assuming 48 byte per SYN packet and 20 byte for each RST makes 10.2 byte/sec. Not too much IMO.

Your TTL system makes sense. But as long as the developers rely on the old protocol to maintain backwards compatibility there isn't much room for changes. -- Markus Kern <markus-kernat_private> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is provided by the SecurityFocus ARIS analyzer service.
