I think it depends... I know for sure that ettercap (on linux) can hijack a tcp connection and inject whatever data the intruder wants (it's child's play for instance to hijack a telnet to a router and send back to the operator fake answers from the router)... But in order to do that it has to

Yes, google TCP session hijacking. The possibilities are limited by your access to the network path between the endpoints. If you have share a LAN with one of the endpoints you can poison the ARP cache of the endpoint and insert a MAC-layer proxy, if you can tap the ONLY link between routers,

Dear list: It's possible that a intruder could take active part of a TCP connection after this was established? In UPD I know this is true because is a connectionless protocol. But I have doubts about TCP. Depending on the location of the attacker this would indeed be possible. He/She's

In-Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, It depends totally on the application you are using. Both TCP and UDP are IP protocol types, and there are others like IP proto 47 (used by PPTP) etc. which you would need to open in case the application needs it. As always, do not open any additional

Although i'm not an expert i would say it depends on the port... Say for example that we're talking about a DNS server... surely you'll leave open the UDP port 53 so that i will answer to clients but you won't open TCP 53 as well unless you want to allow everybody to perform zone transfers...
