Re: PenTesting a IPX/SPX Client

The first problem is that you won't be able to connect to it via IPX/SPX
over the internet. If you're on the local wire, that is a different
story, however.

For IPX/SPX attack info, check out Nimrod Mobile Research Centre
(www.nmrc.org), and I can attest that you'll find the protocol is far
less secure. That said, you'll also find that it's remarkably different
from TCP/IP in many ways. Some of the good news includes that it's
fantastically simple (technically speaking; the sequence numbers are
limited and even usually sequential) to hijack connections, and some of
the bad news is that it's so different from TCP/IP that you may not find
it easy to exploit.
