             Summary: Detect "quantum insert" type of attacks
                 Key: BIT-1314
                 URL: https://bro-tracker.atlassian.net/browse/BIT-1314
             Project: Bro Issue Tracker
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Bro
            Reporter: David André


Add detection for "quantum insert" type of attacks. Since the leaked information is classified, I will try to explain in unclassified form what it is about.

The idea is that you have a passive adversary that sniff your TCP sequence numbers and inject its malicious payload faster than the real server.

One of the leaked documents mentions as an alerting mechanism to detect duplicate TCP sequence numbers from same source, where at least 10% of the beginning of the content of the two packets differs.
