An attacker is attempting to telnet into a corporation’s system in the DMZ. The attacker doesn’t
want to get caught and is spoofing his IP address. After numerous tries he remains unsuccessful
in connecting to the system. The attacker rechecks that the target system is actually listening on
Port 23 and he verifies it with both nmap and hping2. He is still unable to connect to the target
