ankushbhargava 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2005 (edited) I found this amusing. believe it or not, there is an evil bit in the IPv4 header, The bit field is laid out as follows: 0 +-+ |E| +-+ Currently-assigned values are defined as follows: 0x0 If the bit is set to 0, the packet has no evil intent. Hosts, network elements, etc., SHOULD assume that the packet is harmless, and SHOULD NOT take any defensive measures. (We note that this part of the spec is already implemented by many common desktop operating systems.) 0x1 If the bit is set to 1, the packet has evil intent. Secure systems SHOULD try to defend themselves against such packets. Insecure systems MAY chose to crash, be penetrated, etc. more info: RFC 3514 Notice from mayank: I would like to thank you for posting the link from where you copied this material...You saved me from some search work .Please make sure that you have to add QUOTES to all that stuff...which you copy from diff. sources...even if it is your own website you have to quote it.
