+I recommend testing the variables used by fragroute in a controlled environment\\

+== Assessing source routing vulnerabilities ==
+tools that can assess and exploit source routing vulnerabilities found in\\
+remote networks:
+  * LSRScan [[ http://www.synacklabs.net/projects/lsrscan | lsrscan ]]
+  * LSRTunnel [[ http://www.synacklabs.net/projects/lsrtunnel | lsrtunnel ]]
+LSRScan. The LSRScan tool crafts probe packets with specific source routing options\\
+to determine exactly how remote hosts deal with source-routed packets. The tool\\
+checks for the following two behaviors:
+  * Whether the target host reverses the source route when sending packets back
+  * Whether the target host can forward source-routed packets to an internal host, by setting the offset pointer to be greater than the number of hops defined in the loose hop list
+The basic usage of the tool is as follows:
+<code bash>
+$ lsrscan
+usage: lsrscan [-p dstport] [-s srcport] [-S ip]
+[-t (to|through|both)] [-b host<:host ...>]
+[-a host<:host ...>] <hosts>
+</code>
+LSRTunnel. LSRTunnel spoofs connections using source-routed packets. For the tool\\
+to work, the target host must reverse the source route (otherwise the user will not see\\
+the responses and be able to spoof a full TCP connection). LSRTunnel requires a\\
+spare IP address on the local subnet to use as a proxy for the remote host.\\
+Running LSRTunnel with no options shows the usage syntax:
+<code bash>
+$ lsrtunnel
+usage: lsrtunnel -i <proxy IP> -t <target IP> -f <spoofed IP>
+</code>
+== Using Specific Source Ports to Bypass Filtering ==
+information regarding circumvention of Firewall-1 in certain\\
+configurations, consult the excellent presentation from Black Hat Briefings 2000 by\\
+Thomas Lopatic et al. titled “A Stateful Inspection of Firewall-1” available as a Real\\
+Media video stream and PowerPoint presentation from [[ http://www.blackhat.com/html/bh-usa-00/bh-usa-00-speakers.html | Link]]
+=== Low-Level IP Assessment ===
+Tools such as Nmap, Hping2, and Firewalk perform low-level IP assessment.
+Insight into the following areas of a network can be gleaned through low-level IP assessment:
+  * Uptime of target hosts (by analyzing the TCP timestamp option)
+  * TCP services that are permitted through the firewall (by analyzing responses to TCP and ICMP probes)
+  * TCP sequence and IP ID incrementation (by running predictability tests)
+  * The operating system of the target host (using IP fingerprinting)
+The TCP timestamp option is defined in RFC 1323.
+== Analyzing Responses to TCP Probes ==
+A TCP probe always results in one of four responses. These responses potentially\\
+allow an analyst to identify where a connection was accepted, or why and where it\\
+was rejected, dropped, or lost:
+  * TCP SYN/ACK
+If a SYN/ACK packet is received, the port is considered open.
+  * TCP RST/ACK
+If an RST/ACK packet is received, the probe packet was rejected by either the\\
+target host or an upstream security device (e.g., a firewall with a reject rule in its policy).
+  * ICMP type 3 code 13
+If an ICMP type 3 code 13 message is received, the host (or a device such as a\\
+firewall) has administratively prohibited the connection according to an Access Control List (ACL) rule.
+  * Nothing
+If no packet is received, an intermediary security device silently dropped it.
