I wonder why HPING3 has two different flags for setting TCP ACK...
-A --ack: Set ACK tcp flag.
-L --tcpack: Set the TCP ack.
There has to be a difference, but I don't know.....
Can someone through some light on that ?
thanks

What is the difference between 12th bit in the fourth 32 bit word (ACK) of a TCP header and the entire third 32 bit word of the header?

-L --tcpack, sets the 32 Bit TCP ackknowledge Number :)
Thank you
