Mitnicks blind TCP/IP spoofing
Posted by creining | Filed under Security
There is a great explanation on an old school blind TCP/IP spoofing attack done by Kevin Mitnick against Tsutomu Shimomura at the Takedown book site. There is actually quite a bit of interesting historical information on Kevin Mitnick at the website in general. There are some Mitnick telnet sessions and quite funny are some of the voicemail messages that Mitnick left for Shimomura after he hacked him: like this one and this one. I have not read the Takedown book but I have seen the movie based on the book of the same name. It was an okay film, definitely better than other “hacker” movies such as Hackers or Swordfish but for the real scoop on Mitnick I would recommend Freedom Downtime which is a documentary directed by the 2600 publisher Emmanuel Goldstein. Mitnick is currently doing consulting and training under his company Defensive Thinking.
