A general security question about spoofing modern *nix operating
systems, including OpenBSD. Is spoofing pretty much dead? Do modern
*nix machines still use the old BSD style incrementation of sequence
numbers (I don't know enough C to find it in the source)? Or are
sequence numbers now random (unspoofable). Also, don't high speed LANs
(gigabit, fibre) make it doubly hard to guess sequence number? I
couldn't find much on the subject. Thanks.
