Hello my friend heres my new gig easy as it looks Ill send u a total of 5350++ backlinks to your website in 2 tiers. This gig its for 1 website and up to 5 keywords. First tier to your main website 350 page rank 1-5 and the the second tier of 5000 profile backlinks pointing to your first tier.Ill send u a report in a txt file in less than 48 hours.Any question just send me a private message

== TCP repair mode in kernel ==
  −
 
  −
The sockoption called TCP_REPAIR was recently added to the kernel and helps with doing C/R for TCP sockets.
  −
 
  −
When set this option turn the socket into a special state in which any action performed on it doesn't
  −
result in any defined by protocol actions, but instead directly puts the socket into a state, which
  −
should be at the end of the successfully finished operation.
  −
 
  −
E.g. calling connect() on a repaired socket just switches one to the ESTABLISHED state with the peer set as requested.
  −
The bind() call forcibly binds the socket to a given address (ignoring any potential conflicts). Close()-ing the
  −
socket under repair happens without any transient FIN_WAIT/TIME_WAIT/etc states. Socket is silently killed.
  −
 
  −
=== Sequences ===
  −
 
  −
In order to restore the connection properly only binding and connecting it is not enough. One also needs to restore the
  −
TCP sequence numbers. To do so the TCP_REPAIR_QUEUE and TCP_QUEUE_SEQ options were introduced.
  −
 
  −
The former one selects which queue (input or output) will be repaired and the latter gets/sets the sequence. Note, that
  −
setting the sequence is only possible on CLOSE-d socket.
  −
 
  −
=== Packets in queue ===
  −
 
  −
When set the queue to repair as described above, one can call recv or send syscalls on a repaired socket. Both calls
  −
result on peeking or poking data from/to the respective queue. This sounds funny, but yes, for repaired socket one
  −
can receve the outgoing and send the incoming queues. Using the MSG_PEEK flag for recv is required.
  −
 
  −
=== Options ===
  −
 
  −
There are 4 options that are negotiated by the socket at the connecting stage. These are
  −
 
  −
* mss_clamp -- the maximum size of the segment peer is ready to accept
  −
* snd _scale -- the scale factor for a window
  −
* sack -- whether selective acks are permitted or not
  −
* tstamp -- whether timestamps on packets are supported
  −
 
  −
All four can be read with getsockopt calls to a socket and in order to restore them the TCP_REPAIR_OPTIONS sockoption
  −
is introduced.
  −
 
  −
== Checkpoint and restore TCP connection ==
  −
 
  −
With the above sockoptions dumping and restoring TCP connection becomes possible. The crtools just reads the socket
  −
state and restores it back letting the protocol resurrect the data sequence.
  −
 
  −
One thing to note here -- while the socket is closed between dump and restore the connection should be "locked", i.e.
  −
no packets from peer should enter the stack, otherwise the RST will be sent by a kernel. In order to do so a simple
  −
netfilter rule is configured that drops all the packets from peer to a socket we're dealing with. This rule sits
  −
in the host netfilter tables after the crtools dump command finishes and it should be there when you issue the
  −
crtools restore one.
  −
 
  −
That said, the command line option --tcp-established should be used when calling crtools to explicitly state, that the
  −
caller is aware of this "transitional" state of the netfilter.
