CAPEC 324 TCP (ISN) Sequence Predictability Probe

Stable Detailed Medium Risk
Severity Low

Description

This type of operating system probe attempts to determine an estimate for how predictable the sequence number generation algorithm is for a remote host. Statistical techniques, such as standard deviation, can be used to determine how predictable the sequence number generation is for a system. This result can then be compared to a database of operating system behaviors to determine a likely match for operating system and version.
