Hi, this seems to be an evergreen (or even a zombie). Every second month we fill up this list with discussions like "How can I strike back" etc. The last one I remember was the thread "Is it possible to return something, so Nimda would crash?". from 09/21/01. I think everything about that was discussed before and we should concentrate on this list on security problems, not on strike back szenarios. If you think, you're smarter then a real hacker, and if you think you can deal with the problems you're running in when your returned packages bring down a (hacked) server of a big company with lots of lawyers - go and try. Sorry, but I don't like to see this discussion again and again and again... Cheers, Ralf spiekey schrieb am 23.11.2001 um 16:55:36 zum Thema "[suse-security] Excotic Firewall Police":
Hello All! What would be the advantage or disadvantage of this idea:
Why not forward the packets, which will be dropped usually, and forward it to the source address? Forward execpt of dropping.
A kind of mirror effect would mybe keep an attacker busy till you check your logs ;D
Just an Idea.
