Hey guys,
I was wondering if any of you have come across any good TCP/IP book. I wanted to increase my understanding of TCP/IP. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Youchan

I'm sure O'Reilly has some good books on TCP/IP as well. -

It's amazing the number of web pages with detailed TCP/IP information. Not all of it is correct, however, so beware.
If you get tired of looking at TCP/IP from the theoretical protocol perspective, try looking at protocols from a software engineer's perspective as a device to implement. IMO, network protocols are much more fun when you actually try to do something real with them. -

Indeed. Though I have never messed with them from a development standpoint, there is a huge difference in reading about them and even getting a packet sniffer to actually SEE what you're reading about. -

Try playing around with packet crafter software and figuring out how to create one or more packets that'll crash a software service service, or the firmware of a firewall or router. You'd be surprised at how many services and devices do not validate that a packet's structure and data is correct before trying to use it. *BOOM!*/usr wrote:Indeed.

Yep, the old land attack resurfaced recently. Winxp sp2 and win2003 are vulnerable to it. Did I mention Microsoft acknowledged this and doesn't consider it a threat? I've tested it and it does indeed raise cpu to 100%. Multiple connections make the target toast
