could someone here who can write win32 apps, and someone else who can write cocoa apps, please volunteer short executables that will try to spoof a few packets through some well known server, and then report as to whether the current computer/firewall/cablemodem/isp/core permitted this or not? isc would be happy to host the server component of this, as long as source code for the executables is available under a bsd style copyright, and the executables are released without any fee.
If anyone wants this, I have a unix client and server that does the basics of the testing Paul's suggesting. I used it to test for spoofability from a bunch of my nodes, I don't claim it's something you want to open up to cable users as-is. :) The code has only been tested on FreeBSD. YMMV. BSD license. No attempt at real accounting or security. But maybe it'll get someone off the ground. :) If you have compilation problems, try ripping out the ltconfig and using automake to install the right version for your own computer (automake --add-missing). http://eep.lcs.mit.edu/spooftest-dist.tar.gz -Dave (spoof now!) -- work: dga@lcs.mit.edu me: dga@pobox.com MIT Laboratory for Computer Science http://www.angio.net/ I do not accept unsolicited commercial email.
