How we become one with the Packet

• UDP Probes – Proactive Philosophy using patented ActiveScan

  • Tried ICMP - routers drop ICMP despite what RFC says
  • We tried TCP – set off IDS systems all over the place
  • We tried the force - but none of us had enough metaclorians.
  • We now use a UDP probe, though proprietary in nature, very similar to that of a typical traceroute.
  • We found that during testing, routing policy set using UDP Probe data is within 2% of the routing policy set using TCP probe data, but it doesn’t set off IDS systems!
