Jon Siwek commented on BIT-1314:
--------------------------------

Handling the "rexmit_inconsistency" event and comparing the mismatched content might be a way to do what you want.

> 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.
