Just one question, inlined. johnny cache(johnycsh () gmail com)@Mon, Sep 04, 2006 at 07:17:27PM -0700:
1) set up a netcat udp listener on the victim centrino box. (Why you actually need a listener is beyond me, but it seems to help)I don't understand what this means. Does it mean that the victim computer *must* be running a netcat udp listener for the attack to work? If so, how would this be exploited in the wild?No, in theory no open TCP/UDP ports should be required. Your wireless device driver has no idea what layer 4 ports are open and it should be treating all data packets the same at this point. My guess is that having an open port influences the delicate timing I described earlier.
(content removed)
If you were to implement this using a patched kernel, or found some other way to inject packets at a faster rate, I suspect no open ports would be required. Hard to say for sure though.
Have you tried the in-kernel "packet generator"? The docs seem to say that it can generate traffic quickly. I haven't had a reason to play with it yet so I can't say if it would serve the purpose. -- Bill Weiss _______________________________________________ Dailydave mailing list Dailydave () lists immunitysec com http://lists.immunitysec.com/mailman/listinfo/dailydave
