Mitigating this...

1. there's Marco Ivaldi finding posted on Bugtraq
2. There seem to be something with ACK packets to exploit for
   idle-scanning:

	hping3 -A -r host -p 80

Gives back exploitable incremental IPID on a Linux 2.6.15 box.

Note that default ip_conntrack_tcp_loose of 3 prevents theses packets to
get flaged as INVALID by conntrack.
