UNSUBSCRIBE: email "unsubscribe ids" to majordomo () uow edu au ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are there any tools/techniques to determining when something is NOT random. For example, I have a system that was hit with ICMP_ECHO packets from 47 systems within two hours. Based on the packets, I can determine that the same tool was used to generate them. What I want to determine is if the 47 source systems were randomly generated by the tool (as often done by Syn Flooding tools) or if the 47 systems involved were not randomly generated. If the 47 Src systems were NOT randomly gerenerated, this may indicate that all 47 systems are actuall systems used in the 'attack'. Any tool that can take a list of IP addresses and determine if they are random or not? Thanks! Lance Spitzner http://www.enteract.com/~lspitz/papers.html
