I have a script. :)

I've been working on this for a little while already, but I'm still expanding it to work against some of the newer attacks like the one that takes advantage of TCP window sizes to execute a slow read attack.  The script still kind of sucks and has false positives in a few cases (and I'm sure false negatives as well), but I'm slowly working on getting those ironed out.

If you'd like a copy of my script to try, let me know and I can get it over to you.
