RFC 791 Exploit

An attacker is attempting to Telnet a specific host secured behind a firewall rule tht only allows inbound connections on TCP port 25.

  • Send 2 packets, the first packet with the DF bit clear and the MF bit set, and the second packet with a fragmentation offset of 1 and a destination port of TCP 23

Aspects of RFC 791 (internet Protocol) can the attacker exploit to perform this attack.
