The Reg has an interesting look at what has been called "Steve Gibson invents broken SYNcookies"
- He dares to call it "GENESIS" (Gibson"s ENcryption-Enhanced Spoofing Immunity System). He dares to call it "Beautiful and Perfect." It"s the product of "Three Key Innovations" for which he takes credit and which culminate in an "Encrypted Token," which is another way of saying a "SYNcookie", a quite useful thing developed by Dan Bernstein and Eric Schenk back in 1996.
He dares to claim "immunity" from SYN floods. Only Steve Gibson"s lame knockoff is dangerously broken.
Impossible. No human being could have his head that far up his own ass -- not even Steve Gibson.
