[FUGSPBR] OFF - The Security Flag in the IPv4 Header

[Antonio Torres]

engraçado, ainda não bebi nada (alcoólico) hoje.

deixa eu ver se entendi: se eu quiser 'escrever' um programa de ataque, digamos para quebrar um firewall, tenho que 'setar' esse bit para avisar o firewall que meus pacotes *são* um ataque ??

É, talvez seja o elevado teor de sangue na minha corrente alcoólica......

Falando sério : de onde veio isso ??
