Abstract
We present application-based TCP hijacking (ABTH), a new attack on TCP applications that exploits flaws due to the interplay between TCP and application protocols to inject data into an application session without either server or client applications noticing the spoofing attack. Following the injection of a TCP packet, ABTH resynchronizes the TCP stacks of both the server and the client. To eval-uate the feasibility and effectiveness of ABTH, we devel-oped a tool that allows impersonating users of Windows Live Messenger in the matter of few seconds. Due to its generic nature, ABTH can be mounted on a variety of mod-ern protocols for TCP-based applications. Countermeasures to thwart and/or limit the effectiveness of ABTH could in-clude strict Ethernet switching and cryptographic protection of messages. However, the former cannot be guaranteed by the application provider and the latter appears to be still prohibitively expensive for such large-scale applications with hundreds of millions of sporadic users as Windows Live Mes-senger.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
