Security Incidents: Re: ICMP timex to X.Y.Z.0

Re: ICMP timex to X.Y.Z.0

Hi Dave,

Not too unlike what I proposed to someone this AM. Covert channel tunnelled
through ICMP.

Actually they should have very few bytes in them. A properly formed ICMP timex
packet is 0x38 bytes. I've been concentrating on the unreachable messages to
X.Y.Z.0 (assuming they came from a router closer to the spoofer). They too should
be 0x38 bytes. But I've seen several of 0x66 bytes, some as large as 0x8c bytes.

I don't think these were sent by a router. Maybe by a host faking being a router.

Currently I think these may be the key.

Don
