IP traceback is any method for reliably determining the origin of a packet on the Internet. The IP protocol does not provide for the authentication of the source IP address of an IP packet, enabling the source address to be falsified in a strategy called IP address spoofing , and creating potential internet security and stability problems.
Version detection – Interrogating network services on remote devices to determine application name and version number. [11] Ping Scan – Check host by sending ping requests. TCP/IP stack fingerprinting – Determining the operating system and hardware characteristics of network devices based on observations of network activity of said devices.
TCP/IP stack fingerprinting is the remote detection of the characteristics of a TCP/IP stack implementation. The combination of parameters may then be used to infer the remote machine's operating system (aka, OS fingerprinting ), or incorporated into a device fingerprint .
IP addresses in the bogon space may cease to be bogons because IANA frequently assigns new address. Announcements of new assignments are often published on network operators' mailing lists (such as NANOG ) to ensure that bogon filtering can be removed for addresses that have become legitimate.
NDIS Miniport drivers can also use Windows Driver Model interfaces to control network hardware. [19] Another driver type is NDIS Intermediate Driver. Intermediate drivers sit in-between the MAC and IP layers and can control all traffic being accepted by the NIC. In practice, intermediate drivers implement both miniport and protocol interfaces.
