I've been monkeying about with the ndd settings, but I've had a
hard time getting the exploit code to work.  Both neptune (phrack)
and the 2600 code both send the SYN packets (after some work) but
a sniffer shows that both of these don't correctly spoof the IP 
address, so RSTs follow the reply.  

Does anyone have _simple_ working exploit code for any platform?

I'm going to go ahead and implement the ndd fix, but I'd sure as
heck like to know how much it fixes it.
