RE: Stopping people finding out uptime?
That works. How does nmap know how long the machine is up? Is the
information sent out in every tcp packet?
Thankyou
Charlie

Charlie,
Try "echo 0 >> /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_timestamps"

Hi
If I port scan my machine nmap finds out how long my machine
has been on for, How can I stop people outside my network from finding
this information out?
Thankyou
Charlie
