Firewalk works by sending out TCP or UDP packets +with a TTL one greater then the targeted gateway. If the +gateway allows the traffic, it will forward the packets to +the next hop where they will expire and elicit an +ICMP_TIME_EXCEEDED message. If the gateway host does not +allow the traffic, it will likely drop the packets on the +floor and we will see no response. + +WWW: http://www.packetfactory.net/firewalk/ |
