Re: Rolling my own Errrrrrr....could you dumb your post down a little for us poor novices? How do you determine if your NAT router has the capability to disable decrementing a counter? And what is decrementing and what is 'the counter'?

Don't know what routers might allow you to change the ip header info, but once you read the article the idea is pretty straight forward, the IP header info contains an ID string, which is [often/usu.?] assigned in incremental order, like a counter. Knowing the OS, how it handles the numbering, and analyzing the IP id can give you some idea of the hosts behind the NAT device.

| Iptables supports 'packet mangling' as just one of it's many functions. Packet mangling changes the packet headers.
You can get a lot more advice and help in the 'All Things Unix' forum. I -may- get a friend to write and post a 'how-to' in ATU when I'm done. 'nuff said. |

That would be excellent, the topic is a little obscure to many of us.
