Re: NAT Challenge

said by B See Profile :

Thank you Blake! It's long overdue that your challenge had its own thread.

Your challenge reminds me of the Randi Foundation's ongoing million dollar challenge for claims of the paranormal -- you're willing to work with the claimants to pre-approve the terms by which the contest will be judged successful or failed.

For more background for the viewing audience -- »Security (NAT Router subsection link)

I take it that ANY unsolicited packet inside the LAN wins? Or must the claimant affect the open shares?

Yep I agree.

I am willing to look at any method of getting anything past a NAT and then we will discuss it in the sense of just how 'damaging' could it be. If you read/write the shares then certainly it couldn't get much more damaging then that, but anything else is worthy of at least acknowledgement and discussion. If you were able to slide a stream of packets in and against a system behind a NAT then its a possible worm infection so certainly getting packets by could be worthy (I'll put a totally unpactched XP system with open shares behind the NAT so its vulnerable to all the current worms and exploits if that would help).
