TL;DR: In this article, the TCP2B protocol and TCP2E protocol have been proposed, where the client retransmits its requested options in the ACK message so the server need not store the options after the connection request.
Abstract: The protocol of the present invention includes two new first level protocols and several embodiments of a second level protocol. The two new first level protocols of the present invention include the TCP2B protocol and the TCP2E protocol. In the TCP2B protocol, both client and server indicate their support for this protocol using one or more bits in TCP header. According to the TCP2B protocol, the client retransmits its requested options in the ACK message so the server need not store the options after the connection request. In the TCP2E protocol, the server maintains a Friends Table listing addresses of device recently observed to be complying with TCP. If a client's address is on the Friends Table, the connection request is processed according to TCP. Otherwise, the server sends an ACK message to the client to prompt the client to send a reset message. The client's address can then be added to the Friends Table.

TL;DR: A study of the security weaknesses present in a widely used Unix network protocol, Network Information Service (NIS), developed by Sun Microsystems primarily to reduce the effort required to setup and maintain a network of Unix workstations.
Abstract: This note is a study of the security weaknesses present in a widely used Unix network protocol, Network Information Service (NIS). NIS (formerly known as Yellow Pages or YP) was developed by Sun Microsystems primarily to reduce the effort required to setup and maintain a network of Unix workstations. This is accomplished through the centralization on a NIS server of the major configuration files required to setup a Unix machine for a particular site. Thus only the set of configuration files on the NIS server need to be updated to effect all machines at a site. This has proven to be a very powerful network administration tool. However, it also becomes an enormous security problem. Spoofing of the NIS server can be used to completely penetrate security on an NIS client.

7 Jan 2005TL;DR: In this paper, a Web server function receives a network protocol request including an IP address by a network daemon and a port number, processes the request, and responds to the request by sending a web protocol response.
Abstract: In an embedded business apparatus, a Web server function receives a network protocol request including an IP address by a network protocol daemon and a port number, processes the request, and responds to the request by sending a network protocol response. The request includes an obtained request of port information including a port number specifying the port, and the Web server function includes the response including the port information obtained by processing the obtained request and including Web information making it possible for a user to input a change instruction for changing the port information.
