Re: Linux inetd..

[route () RESENTMENT INFONEXUS COM (G P R)]

| Description:
|
|   I've found that inetd on (*atleast*) Debian distribution of LiNUX crashes
|   when port 13 (daytime) / port 37 (time) is "half-open scanned"..

    This sounds a lot like the antiquated SYN, RST DoS problem older Linux
    inetds were vulnerable to.  Send a SYN to an internal service, and
    immediately follow it up with a RST packet.  inetd would become unstable
    and die after the next connection.

|   I'm not skilled enough to write the code-piece for you to test this out,
|   but most of the new portscanner include this type of scanning method.

    Be warned.  It is ugly, ugly code.  At any rate, I was led to believe
    that this problem was fixed ages ago in some netkit rev that escapes me.
