1 Guys,
2 Back to stealthing... It makes sense to me NOT to DROP... but what
3 about stealthing like this:
4
5 I've got DSL, and I know the IP of my gateway. When I want to appear
6 invisible, I respond to unwanted packets with a 'REJECT - ICMP host
7 unreachable' that has a spoofed source address of my gateway? That way,
8 it looks like the gateway responded and I don't exist!
