Chapter 6. TCP/IP AnalysisTCP/IP is the standard set of protocols used in Internet communication. Our purpose in this chapter is not to write an exhaustive catalog of TCP/IP security. Rather, we lay the foundation for discussing more advanced topics later in the book, including operating system fingerprinting (Chapter 8) and intrusion detection systems (Chapter 19). In this chapter, we also briefly review attacks on and defense of TCP/IP, including fragmentation attacks and covert channels , and we examine emerging security and privacy issues with IPv6. |
