Hi, there Can anyone give a detailed explaination about why land attack works on some TCP/IP stack (say BSD-derived)? Which loop is trapped in by this "self-connect" request? What's the state transition internally? I can't figure it out. A related question is I can't use tcpdump get any output from the victim machine, once it is received the "self-connect" request, it freeze, not even a ACK packet. (I am trying it on FreeBSD 2.2.5) Any information is appreciated. /Feiyi
