This will not produce ACK packets, if ACK send by intruder doesn't
conform sequence number in the SYN/ACK response of victim. Original
stream.c used
packet.tcp.th_ack = 0;
i changed to
packet.tcp.th_ack = random();
for ACK packets.
But it's not principial - victim will reply RST for this packet in
most cases.
