What is the main idea behind session splicing as described in the text?
What is the main idea behind session splicing as described in the text?
- To reassemble communication streams
- To stop IDS from reassembling sessions
- To ensure every packet matches IDS signature
- To split data between several packets to avoid matching IDS patterns (correct)
Why does an IDS become susceptible to malicious data theft after a successful splicing attack?
Why does an IDS become susceptible to malicious data theft after a successful splicing attack?
- It reassembles communication streams improperly
- It stops logging any attack attempts
- It fails to detect malicious data
- It stops reassembling sessions after a certain period (correct)

Study Notes
Session Splicing Attack
- Tcpreplay is recommended for performing a session-splicing attack.
- The main idea behind session splicing is to split a packet capture file into multiple segments, and then replay them out of order to evade detection by an IDS (Intrusion Detection System).
IDS Susceptibility to Malicious Data Theft
- After a successful splicing attack, an IDS becomes susceptible to malicious data theft because it incorrectly reassembles the packet stream, leading to the theft of sensitive data.
Incorrectly Mentioned Tool
- Tcpdump is incorrectly mentioned in the text as being recommended for session splicing attacks.
Session Persistence
- If the application under attack keeps a session active longer than the time spent by the IDS on reassembling it, the attack will be unsuccessful.
