TCP sequence-number prediction and host spoofing

Historical concept · local-technique:tcp-sequence-spoofing

Attributed source ↗ · Plaintext record · Complete record and assertions JSON

Predictable TCP state combined with address-based trust can enable endpoint impersonation.

Cryptographic peer authentication, robust sequence generation and anti-spoofing controls.

The paper credits earlier sequence-prediction description to Morris. IPspoofing has a broader scope.
