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.
