Which category or categories in the taxonomy does changing TCP to require that the sequence number be checked when a RST packet is received mitigate? Mark each category as 'y' or 'n' for yes it mitigates attacks or no it does not mitigate attacks, respectively.

Today's TCP implementations employ PRNGs to generate session start sequence numbers. So, with just the I - 1)st number created, it's impossible to calculate the (ith). How can an attacker readily calculate the ith number produced by a PRNG using just the I - 1)st number?

Is this an accurate or wrong statement? For simplicity, let us assume that the most recent SampleRTT on a TCP connection is one second. The current TimeoutInterval value for the connection must be greater than one second in order to maintain the connection.

Is this the right answer or the wrong answer? Assume that the most recent SampleRTT for a TCP connection is one second. The TimeoutInterval setting for the connection must now be set to a value that is greater than one second.

Which Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) fields are utilized in the implementation of TCP's sliding window algorithm?

Explain the TCP three way handshake mechanism to establish a connection

TCP is a connection-oriented protocol. This means that... O a. both of the endpoints communicating over TCP keep information about the state of the connection. O b. a TCP sender can start sending data to the receiver before the three-way handshake takes place. O c. there is a direct physical connection between the two endpoints of a TCP session. O d. both endpoints of a TCP session have to connect to a third party before data can be sent or received.

in a TCP message. What can one infer from a psh flag being set? How would one determine what caused it?

If the destination port field of a TCP segment contains the binary number 0000000001010000 what protocol is being used?

Suppose the sequence number field on a TCP packet is 46005. The packet carries 102 bytes of (application-layer) data. The TCP header size on this packet is 20 bytes. (a) What is the sequence number of the last application byte contained in the packet above? (b) What is the value of the acknowledgment number field on the ACK that the receiver generates for the packet above?  (c) Do you have sufficient information in this question to determine the value of the sequence number field of the ACK packet that the receiver generates for the packet above? If so, what is the sequence number? If not, why not?   (d) If the size of the TCP header were larger (e.g., 24 bytes, due to additional TCP options), would your answers to parts (a)–(c) change? Why or why not?
