If you can decode the TCP options, Ill give you 5 points of extra credit toward your final grade. If you can identify what the specific TCP anomaly is, I will give you another 5 points of extra credit toward your final grade. Both of these are extra credit for a reason (decoding it is challenging). Here are two more packets shown in a more traditional tcpdump output. Ignore the 0xs as they just tell you it is raw hex. On the right is an attempt at ASCII translation which is also of little value here. If youve been able to solve the above translation this should be easy as many of the values/attributes are the same. The main difference is the destination TCP port number.
