Subject:   tcp sequence prediction with nmap
Message-ID:  <F68jJxWY5pCxlICSsiW000003a5@hotmail.com>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
Hello,

I was noticing that an nmap -O portscan of my FreeBSD machine (4.3 RC4)  
gives a tcp sequence prediction difficulty around 17K, but on my Linux 
machine it is anywhere from 130K to 5.4M.  Is the difference between Linux 
and FreeBSD normal, or a cause for concern?  If it is a concern, how would I 
strengthen the FreeBSD sequence randomness?

Thanks very much,
Seth Hieronymus
