Vulnerability Scanning - TCP timestamp response [ Edited ] victort New Member 01-17-2019 11:21 PM - edited 01-17-2019 11:22 PM 18534 0 Hi All, I would like to ssek your assistance on the following vunerability: TCP timestamp response (generic-tcp-timestamp) Description:...
and get vulnerability, TCP TimestampsSummary The remote host implements TCP timestamps and therefore allows to compute the uptime. Vulnerability Detection Result It was detected that the host implements RFC1323.The following timestamps were retrieved with a delay of 1 seconds in-between: Packet 1...
The scan returns that "TCP timestamp response" is a vulnerability that needs to be fixed, and to fix this by setting net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps=0 in /etc/sysctl.conf. What is the effect of implementing this fix? I've found a few blogs that recommend net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps=0, but n...
However, for PCI-DSS compliance we have to run vulnerability scans. Although only informational, all these servers come back as giving Timestamp replies. Although vulnerabilities due to this are minimal, from the timestamp is can be calculated how long a server has been running and therefore you...
The first is delayed evaluation, the client and server built by the test system can effectively measure the round trip time (RTT). Because the sending and receiving paths are symmetrical, the delay uses half of the RTT. The attackers use TCP sockets to send the specified timestamp to the ...
I just need some form of confirmation whether this "vulnerability" according to the scan report can be fixed or not, and how to fix it. Thanks. gheist🇧🇪 2014/6/30 You are mixing two things: ICMP timestamp request/reply (almost obsolete ICMP messages, similar to ping) (iptables/wind...
by this vulnerability. BGP relies on a persistent TCP session between BGP peers. Resetting the connection can result in term- medium unavailability due to the need to rebuild routing tables and route flapping; see [NISCC] for further details. ...
Time needed to kill a connection This table demonstrates that the effect of bandwidth on the vulnerability is squared; for every increase in bandwidth, there is a linear decrease in the number of sequence number guesses needed, as well as a linear decrease in the time needed to send a set ...
preventing TCP sequence number wrapping. The TCP timestamp is also used to calculate round trip time. With this option enabled, the firewall drops packets with null timestamps. To see a count of the number of segments that the firewall dropped as a result of enabling this option, run the...
