yep, unfortunately not enough people using host based firewalls and alot of attacks happen inside of where the firewall protects (i.e. local lan)

Hi,
  I was just reading up on fragmentation attacks using
fragrouter and fragrouter as a mean of IDS/IPS

support for fragment reassembly, are fragmentation
attacks still effective?  Thanks.
