Ärende: ICMP Usage In Scanning v2.5 - Research Paper
------------------------------------------------------------
From: Ofir Arkin <ofir@SYS-SECURITY.COM>
To: BUGTRAQ@SECURITYFOCUS.COM
Message-ID: <GDEIJDIGIGIFHEIILCALMEJDCKAA.ofir@sys-security.com>

I am pleased to announce the release of version 2.5 of my research
paper "ICMP Usage In Scanning".

From the Introduction: "The Internet Control Message Protocol may
seem harmless at first glance.  Its goals and features were outlined
in RFC 792 (and than later cleared in RFCs 1122, 1256, 1349, 1812),
as a way to provide a means to send error messages, troubleshoot
networking problems, and more.

There is no consent between the experts in charge for securing
Internet networks (Firewall Administrators, Network Administrators,
System Administrators, Security Officers, etc.) regarding the actions
that should be taken to secure their network infrastructure in order
to prevent those risks.

The risks involved in implementing the ICMP protocol in a network,
regarding scanning, are the subject of this research paper".

The paper can be downloaded from http://www.sys-security.com.
